The poster child of Kusoge. The game with the world's most punishing implementation of fall damage. The inspiration for the much, MUCH better indie hit, Spelunky. There's not too much to say that hasn't already been said.

What I will say is that this game ain't half bad all things considered. I have no interest in trying to beat the extra challenges past the end - Same cave but with more ghosts and invisible items? Yeah no thanks - What Spelunker does offer is some pretty solid precision platforming for a game of its era. Starting at the very top of the cave honestly isn't a huge deal when you can just reset, hit start and be right back at it.

Is it amazing? A hidden gem? Not really. But you could definitely beat this one over the course of an afternoon, and it would be far from a waste of time.
