Spelunky's Official C64 Port Now Available

  • Release Update: After years of anticipation and development, Paul Koller has officially released the long-awaited Commodore 64 (C64) port for Spelunky! 🎉

  • Playable Now: Purchase the game directly from itch.io and bring the rogue-like to your C64 emulator, now supporting both PAL & NTSC models! ⏬⬇️

Dive into the cave exploration journey filled with traps, foes, and treasure hunting. Adapt using your skills, reflexes, and items available in this ever-changing environment designed for 8-bit. 🩺🗺️

  • Graphics Update: Expect a representation true to the original, though with graphics optimized for the C64's limitations – preserving the essence of the 8-bit pixels. 💥🎨

Historical Context:**

  • Original Release: First released as freeware on PC in 2008, then enhanced and made available on Xbox Live Arcade in 2009. Since then, it's graced platforms like PlayStation, Nintendo, and now the timeless C64. 🎨🎮

What do you think of the $2.99 price tag? Do you plan to pick it up?

Oh awesome, I think $2.99 is totally acceptable. I might just buy it to run on my c64.

If Indie devs keep making games on old consoles id die happy. Just because console manufacturers make new consoles doesn’t mean we need to hurry and buy the next best thing especially if indie devs port to older hardware
