  Cave In

[Downloads] [Screenshots] [Video] [Manual] [Purchase]

updated 01.17.2011

 

  Cave In is a large adventure game for the Atari 2600, inspired by the 2600 versions of Raiders of the lost ark and Adventure.  Below are the download links and the instructions on how to play the game, as well as other files and documents I created during the development process.  For more info, you can visit the AtariAge forum thread here

1/17/2011 Update - The PAL Version is here!  I've added the PAL50/PAL60 binaries and source code in a zip file in the download section.  Enjoy!  I've just requested Albert over at AtariAge to provide me with my first commission check.  I'll post the receipt or thank you letter/email from Autism Speaks once I get it.  It's hard to believe, but it's already been about a year since Cave In was made available for sale. Tempus Fugit!

Want to see CaveIn in action? Download the Level One Playthrough here. Be warned, it shows how to beat the game, so don't watch if you want to figure it out for yourself.  Also, I'm on a free webhost with only 1GB of transfer per month.  So please download it once, then send it to all your friends! :)

Build 230 is the final revision, the game is now complete.  Cave In is now available for purchase at the AtariAge store. The $30 purchase price includes the cartridge and a professionally printed manual, you can see screenshots of both below.

 Cave In to help support Autism research  

 

   
All of my proceeds for Cave In will be donated to Autism Speaks. Autism is one of the fastest growing developmental disabilities in the US, with 1 in 91 children being diagnosed (as of October 2009). It knows no cultural or racial boundaries, and that number is increasing every year. My son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of two, 9 years ago. So much has been discovered and learned since then, but there is still no cure. By purchasing Cave In you're not just getting a great game for the Atari 2600, you're also contributing to a great cause that needs everyone's attention, and you're helping to fund research that will hopefully find a cure. Thank you for your support and your interest in Cave In, and for helping my wife and I support Autism Speaks.
