In which I play "The Cavern of Death", released in 1986 by Carsten Reitz. It's an odd sort of maze game where the object seems to be to collect letters which seem to spell out the word "CAVERN". Very unfortunately, the player gets a single life, which is tremendously frustrating, and ruins what otherwise might have been a decent game.

You get a 2D-ish side view of the player character, which is essentially useless for playing the game, and then a top down view which is what you will spend most of the time looking at. It also features a slow-motion version of the song "Get Into the Groove" by Madonna.
