I've been playing Spelunky for a long time, ever since I first seen it as a free demo on my psvita back in 2013. It only consisted of the first area, "the mines" but I must have played and replayed that demo well over a thousand times. My mother I suppose got fed up of me talking about it so much that she gifted me a psn card for easter one year in order to buy it, I was ecstatic. Well into my high school years I could not put the game down, I beat it so many times, collected every trophy, bought it on every platform I could and till this day I still play it. You ever have those types of games? The ones that no matter how long you've been playing or what other games get picked up and dropped along the way you still keep coming to the old reliable one? Well that's Spelunky for me, once I graduated high school I took a couple video game design classes in college and my first amateur video game I ever made was a blatant rip off of Spelunky that I turned in for an assignment, it was so crappy. At this point I was deep into game theory and working with game engines, so I wanted to see how it worked. I watched as many videos and interviews I could with Spelunkys solo developer Derek Yu, I found out that originally Spelunky was released in 2008 in the game maker engine so I plugged it into game maker and seen how it all worked. I bought the book that Yu wrote describing how Spelunky came to be from its 2008 classic to its now hd remake. For me Spelunky is a perfect game. Its comforting, something I can always come back to and infinitely replay. Its one of the major attributing factors for my love of video games and has set me on the path of making them myself. I was 12 years old when I first discovered Spelunky, now I am 25 years old as of writing this. A lot has changed over the years but the one thing that has never wavered is my love for this game, its hard and might not be for everyone but I couldn't recommend this game enough.
