Both games have been created by famed YouTuber/streamer John Lester (a.k.a. Gamester81) and his associates at CollectorVision Games – true retro console experts capable of programming games in Assembly … as intended by the gods!
Let the Games Begin!
The latest installment in the Sydney Hunter franchise, Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan pays homage to the Commodore 64 classic Montezuma’s Revenge as our hero gets trapped inside a Mayan pyramid and soon discovers that Kukulkan has made a mess of the sacred Haab calendar (a Very Bad Thing™). Widespread chaos and a time freeze will certainly follow if the Haab calendar isn’t located and put back together … and that’s where YOU come in. Can you defeat 13 powerful Mayan gods and beat the Curse of the Mayan?
Armed only with a trusty boomerang in Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death, our adventurer must navigate the dark caverns under Mt. Doom (located in the mysterious Sundial Island) while avoiding bats, ghosts, lava, and other white-hot hazards. If you can survive all 12 caverns, you’ll win your freedom. If not, the Volcano God will thank you for another hearty meal!
Developer Quote
“Needless to say, everyone at the studio is a huge fan of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It’s one of our favorite game systems growing up – bar none. This prompted us to create a 100% original game for it! There aren’t very many new SNES homebrew games out there. That’s because unlike the NES, Nintendo’s 16-bit follow up is an incredibly challenging machine. Believe it or not, it took us four whole years to figure it out! Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death offers gamers a fresh SNES experience that can be enjoyed on both original hardware and modern retro consoles – a nostalgic treat for anyone who’s into classic game consoles.”
– John Lester (Head of Marketing/Co-Owner, CollectorVision Games)

About Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan
In this pixel-perfect homage to Commodore 64’s classic Montezuma’s Revenge, you play as Sydney Hunter – an explorer who gets trapped inside a Mayan pyramid while he’s out exploring! He soon discovers that the “Feathered Serpent” Kukulkan has broken up the sacred Haab calendar into seven individual pieces and has hidden them inside a pyramid.
Widespread chaos and a time freeze will certainly follow if the Haab calendar isn’t located and put back together. With the support of the local Mayan population, Sydney Hunter must now find all seven pieces of the Haab calendar, defeat Kukulkan, and return peace and balance to the Mayan civilization.
