Spelunker was an 8-bit NES game where you explore a 2-D cave and gather treasure. Along the way you would climb ladders and jump over obstacles and avoid enemies like bats, snakes, and ghosts. It was a lot like Donkey Kong or Pitfall, really. Spelunker wasn’t too popular in the US, but it gained fame in Japan for some strange reason. Probably because it came out right when the Famicom was tops. Spelunker is also known for being incredibly hard. One hit by anything and you die, even if you fall from a height bigger than your jump. Now you can enjoy dying over and over again in a whole new way with Spelunker HD, a downloadable PSN title for PS3.
