Spelunky is a free-to-play action-adventure platformer released for PC in 2009. Players take on the role of a cave spelunker, winding their way through underground caverns, collecting treasure, encountering enemies, and rescuing damsels in distress. If you start the game with a whip, players can find a bunch of items to improve their stats, including ropes, bombs, weapons, and artifacts.
Spelunky has 16 cave levels in 4 different areas. The free version of the game has been renamed Spelunky Classic. A retail version called Spelunky HD was released in 2012 and includes a special bonus area not found in the free version.
You Have to Win the Game is an exploration platform available for free on Windows, Mac and Linux. Players run and jump through the ruins of a lost world, avoiding enemies and traps as they search for treasure and ancient artifacts. Released in 2012, the game has an option to display the game in nostalgic four-color CGA graphics with old-school PC speaker sound, or you can go high-tech with beautiful 16-color EGA graphics. You Have to Win the Game is available for free via Steam or the developer's website.
