Talk:Spelunker (video game)

Untitled

I'm one of the original developers of Spelunker at MicroGraphicImage.

I question the claim stating the original version of the game had a bug preventing progress beyond Level 1. While that was nearly 25 years ago, I don't recall that. I'm one of the few who could regularlly play the game all the way to completion without loosing. I'm certain I was able to do this with the first version.

Like I said, it's not impossible I simply forgot this. Does anyone have a specific memory that makes this claim credible?

I can say from own experience that the Commodore 64 version is indeed possible to complete. I have done so, once. Spelunker is so difficult that after I had finally completed it (after almost half a decade of trying), I stopped playing it. JIP | Talk 18:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Not in Playstation Store

I have been through the Japanese Playstation Store several times and can not find the game. Editing part of the page to reflect that the game is pending release. Feezy501 (talk) 06:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Sections merge

The information in the "setting" section appears to be more relevant to gameplay than setting; the article would probably be well-served if the two sections were merged. Kouban (talk) 21:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE

While this article does a reasonable job of falling into some of the typical video game articles, things like exactly which button does what starts to via into infringement of NOTGAMEGUIDE. I'd suggest removing exact button/key presses (saying 'you can shoot flares' as opposed to 'press X to shoot flares' or whatever). Also, the level descriptions are somewhat superflous. 143.92.1.32 (talk) 01:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I did so, and I'm recording that diff here so that it can be migrated to a fanservice site such as Wikia. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 12:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
