as you navigate the hazardous terrain.
To set off bombs, pull the joystick down and press the fire button. Collect blue bottles to restore your energy.
Final scores.

Really? I didn't know it was on the NES, the first i had heard of it was on xbox 360.Until I found it in MAME, I didn't know there was an arcade version - only the NES one.

I think you are confusing this with Spelunky for the 360.

Yep. I know it was called Spelunky, but the first time i fired up this game, it was obvious that Spelunky was remaking this game.

Game would be better if the ghost didn't give any points. Also the treasures in the chests are random as far as I can tell?

And Currently on sale at GOG.com for $2.99 for the DRM free version ! ( https://www.gog.com/game/spelunky (https://www.gog.com/game/spelunky) )

That's a steal, definitely buy it if you don't own it yet. And while you are at it, pick up La-Mulana (https://www.gog.com/game/la_mulana) for $3.79 too :D

Struggling to get over 31k.

It uses an 8-way. It is hard, mainly because of how the Spelunker moves. I've tried this game a few times over the years and can't stick with it. It could have been a great game.

Well THAT was unexpected. I couldn't even beat my initial score. I'll have a new game most likely this evening.

I see you sniped my score in the last minute but then you felt bad about it and didn't give yourself any points on the scoreboard. I'm OK with that ;)
Post by: yamatetsu on June 27, 2016, 01:07:54 pm
As for sniping your score : I actually did play until one and a half hours to the deadline. I made that score yesterday at about 21:30. I got some games up to 185-190k prior to that, but as they still were lower than your score I didn't bother to post them.
