Reviews for Raider of the Cursed Mine (#4001)

Review by The Dean of Games on 04 Jan 2015 (Rating: 2)

1983 Arcade Software (UK)

Wow, this really looks so retro!
I know I've played an arcade coin-op game similar to this one, but cant remember its name.
You basically control a guy who has to catch diamonds from a cursed mine, filled with ghosts and other weird stuff.
You move left/right and control the motion of three elevators (probably more), this allows you to move around the mine without tripping on dangerous spider webs and other dangers.
It's fairly cute and playable, and nice for 1983, but I see a lot of things that could be better, like when you catch a diamond, should have a sound of something.
Still it's a great retro looking game and I've enjoyed the few minutes I've played so far.

The idea is nice but the game-play is clumsy . . . . 2 / 5 .
