Both games have been created by famed YouTuber/streamer John Lester (a.k.a.ย Gamester81) and his associates at CollectorVision Games โย true retro console experts capable of programming games in Assembly โฆ as intended by the gods!
Let the Games Begin!
The latest installment in theย Sydney Hunterย franchise,ย Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayanย pays homage to the Commodore 64 classicย Montezumaโs Revengeย 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 Thingโข). Widespread chaos and aย time freezeย will certainly follow if the Haab calendar isnโt located and put back together โฆ and thatโs where YOU come in. Can you defeat 13 powerful Mayan gods and beat the Curse of the Mayan?
Armed only with a trusty boomerang inย 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 allย 12ย caverns, youโll win your freedom. If not, the Volcano God will thank you for another hearty meal!
Developer Quote
โNeedless to say, everyone at the studio is a huge fan of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Itโs one of our favorite game systems growing up โย bar none. This prompted us to create a 100% original game for it! There arenโt very many new SNES homebrew games out there. Thatโs because unlike the NES, Nintendoโs 16-bit follow up is an incredibly challenging machine. Believe it or not, it took usย four whole yearsย to figure it out!ย Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Deathย offers gamers a fresh SNES experience that can be enjoyed on both original hardware and modern retro consoles โ a nostalgic treat for anyone whoโs into classic game consoles.โ
