Spelunker - MSX - longplay
3Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan released Spelunker HD for the PlayStation 3 on the PlayStation Network Store. It received the PlayStation Store best sales award in 2009 from Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan. The game is a remake of the NES port, with high definition graphics and 10 large caves with 10 levels in each.
Your goal is to get all the keys on the map to open the acient underground temple.
On the way you can take oxygen and bombs. Oxygen is essential since its level decreases continously, as the top bar indicates.
Bombs are used to destroy rocks.
Fun fact: the game has also a japanese anime, even if the game is an american production.
Japanese version (not a port) for MSX and NES were developed by IREM.
However, even if on MSX there's a single level, it lasts about 40 minutes while C64 version only 17 minutes :P :P
Another detail, often seen in the video, the dematerializer gun used for ghosts can only be used when you touch the ground and not other surfaces, so while you're at this point 25:32 , you must wait, trying again and again until you can safely pass. But that's how the game is.
Also I noticed that you can shoot arrows to hit bats, but only after you finish the game once.
Many thanks once again to @ReBITMAGAZINE for recording this long and tricky game, writing also what you can read above ;)
