Cavern Quest 2

This is a re-make of the very old TRS-80 game Cavern Quest. I've kept the blocky monochrome graphics, as it wouldn't be the same otherwise.

This is the first game created with my simple game engine Kyd.

To play, you first need to install Kyd. But soon, I'll have a web version.

You can watch a noob play the orignal on YouTube.

Game Play

You have landed on an alien world, and need to refuel. Alas, there are creatures lurking. They aren't happy about your invasion. They will die if you drop rocks on their heads.

Digging through the soil requires explosives, and you have a limited supply. Luckily, there's some dynamite just lying around!

Once you have collected the fuel, return to your ship and head back home.

It sounds simple, but is surprisingly deep, possibly the best game of its kind. If you play it for a few minutes, you will think I'm daft (or lying). But reserve judgement until you can reach the lower caverns.

The player on YouTube is obviously a noob, and has so much more to learn. You need a certain kind of scientic mind to become a CavernQuest master. When you can complete the game every time without fail, that's a good time to stop. It took me 40 years. Can you beat my record? ;-)

PS. I've just introduced hard mode,
