i loved this game as a little kid, back when it had 6 floppy disks for the install. not as magical as i remember, of course, but it was still worth getting the bundle for. give it to your kid and see what happens :) the middle floor is gone though. i even emailed Cyan and asked them about it... -- Thank you for contacting Cyan Worlds! Yes, the middle floor is no longer in the game and that means the editor is gone (sorry to have to tell you that). The later releases of Spelunx did not have the editor available and this is due to major changes in the technology used. HyperCard (Apple Computer, Inc.) was the original technology used and was required in order for the editor to function – it no longer exists. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying Spelunx again :-) Thank you, Vicki
This is a pretty cool game to show off the smokin' fast 2x CD-ROM you just bought. Also, I am recommending this in 1993.
Again, like with the other bonus games in the bundle, we are left with a non-standard point-and-click adventure that is especially perfect for children. This one is actually better for slightly older kids, as it has far more purely educational content to it than the other two while still having the sense of fun that comes with being able to click everything to see what it does. For instance, you can learn the basics about the planets and see what they look like (in the pixelated way you'd expect of a game this old), drop rocks into a hole to learn how quickly it falls to various depths and how long it takes the sound to return to you, and even see how soon thunder follows a lightning strike at a certain distance away, among other things. This is a game you could actually feel fairly okay with letting the kids spend a good amount of time on. At the same time, the sense of adventure that is present when hunting down new things and seeing what it all does is kept intact as well. Overall, this game once again makes the bundle worth it, serving as an excellent little bonus, and I'll definitely keep it on hand for the next time I have kids around to entertain.
Very poorly made port. Very obvious JPEG artifacts. Very clumsy upscaling, at the very least they could have scaled it by a whole multiple of the original, if not used a more advanced scaling algorithm. Some animations are missing, and so it Spelunx Builder. Don't buy this, it's a complete waste. Set up an emulator and run the real thing instead.

This game defined my early childhood. It's short, and primitive, but the nostalgia I got from it was undeniable.
Awesome game, I enjoyed the Pack of 3 games 5/5
Spelunx is a short exploration type game that has quite a few innovative user changable features for an early 1990s game. Other than those few features, there wasn't a whole lot to it. It works nicely as an "extra" in the bundle.
I don't know what should I do and that's iritate me
Such a great old game! Very Myst-like, clearly a Cyan adventure :) The Cyan Kids pack of games are all educational and make the player figure things out. Great for kids and relaxing for adults that like the Myst type games.
