About this game

Spelunker is a platform game developed by Timothy G. Martin of MicroGraphicImage and published for Atari 8-bit computers in 1983. It is set in a cave, with the player starting at the cave's entrance at the top. The objective is to get to the treasure at the bottom.

A miner has to find the exit to a world of wonders that is deep in the ground. During his journey he has to collect bombs to destroy rocks in his way, collect keys to open doors and pick up little potions that refresh his timer. Treasure chests can be opened for bonus items.
