Cosmic Cavern 3671　　宇宙最大の地底最大の作戦 (2016)

Reluctantly going thumbs-down here, I've played quite a few Mindware games and I like them, they are nice bits of late 70s/early 80s gaming nostalgia, plus they include the original PC/Apple 2 verisons with NES-style remakes.. This one is another fun and challenging simple game, but this one has a lot of problems with unresponsive controls, both with keyboard and controller. If you can get it cheap, either by completing a bundle or on sale for a couple bucks, it's worth a try if you like Mindware's games or classics like this one.

There IS a fullscreen option available, you have to navigate to the game options menu to find it-use the keyboard to do so)

amazing online only playability from 1980!

Players control a lone explorer navigating a vast underground cavern system inhabited by strange alien creatures. The environment consists largely of destructible terrain, allowing the player to dig tunnels through layers of soil while navigating the labyrinth-l…
