I'm one of the original developers of Spelunker at MicroGraphicImage.

I question the claim stating the original version of the game had a bug preventing progress beyond Level 1. While that was nearly 25 years ago, I don't recall that. I'm one of the few who could regularlly play the game all the way to completion without loosing. I'm certain I was able to do this with the first version.

Like I said, it's not impossible I simply forgot this. Does anyone have a specific memory that makes this claim credible?

I can say from own experience that the Commodore 64 version is indeed possible to complete. I have done so, once. Spelunker is so difficult that after I had finally completed it (after almost half a decade of trying), I stopped playing it. JIP | Talk 18:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
