Spelunker HD[a] is a PlayStation 3 downloadable platform video game developed by and published by Irem Software Engineering and Tozai Games. It is a remake of the 1985 NES port of Irem's arcade version of Tim Martin's Spelunker and was available on the PlayStation Network's Store. While in terms of gameplay the game does not differ greatly from the original, it adds HD graphics, although the NES version can still be played, as well as 100 all-new levels over 10 different locations.[1] A Japanese-only version titled Spelunker Black[b] was later made available on the PlayStation Store in 2010. It features Black Spelunker as the new protagonist along with a much narrower field of vision.
The game was released in Japan on March 26, 2009,[2] the rest of Asia on July 28,[3] in North America on November 23, 2010,[4] and in Europe on August 10, 2011.[5]
In 2015, Square Enix released a free-to-play sequel for the PlayStation 4 titled Spelunker World.[6]
An enhanced remake, Spelunker HD Deluxe, was released for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2021.[7][8]
