Spelunker is a remake of the original, but with vastly more content. here the original had six levels, this one has a hundred(!), as well as two multiplayer modes. It's a strange beast as far as a remake though, because it is every bit as murderously hard as the old 8-bit game, namely, you die every time the breeze changes direction. It's slavishly loyal to the original gameplay, and you can play the entire game in retro graphics if you desire. The formula is the same, but over time, lots of cool new items, traps and enemies are introduced. If you like the original game, this thing is a no brainer.
Thexder is great too, and why Square Enix chose to remake this super-obscure game I'll never know, but it is a stunningly gorgeous remake of the original. In fact, it's a true remake, down to every enemy and secret, all in very shiny, gorgeous graphics. It's just as frustrating and fun as the original (also included) that i used to play on my friend Dan's old 286 back in high school.
Both of these titles are true, tough as nails, gamer's games.
Damn good stuff.
