Description
The arcade sequel to Spelunker, entirely different from the console game also titled Spelunker II. This one closely retains the game mechanics and style of the first arcade game: a descent into a perilous underworld, this time greenish instead of an earthly brown, populated by strange denizens and even stranger traps and hazards. As you proceed towards the unknown depths of the mineshaft, there will be plenty of platform jumping, rope climbing, dynamite blasting, key hunting, ghost-busting and other routine speleological activities. Naturally, there's no shortage of treasure and bonus items, and the path to the exit isn't always obvious, which will have you hunting for secret passages and seeking creative ways to modify the environment.
This time around, your ultimate goal is to rescue a princess; in terms of actual game elements, there are a few changes and additions: falling down costs you more health than before, but on the other hand enemy collisions aren't immediately lethal. Other fresh ingredients include a new selection of bizarre monsters, ice platforms, and sections for such diverse sports as scuba diving, swinging from monkey bars, and (of all things) skateboarding.
