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.
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.
Special thanks to David Exton (liveinabin),
