Era throwback
La-Mulana (original freeware)
by GR3 Project · 2005 · Platformer
Freeware MSX-style ruins exploration game released on the developers' own site before the remake.
LA-MULANA is an “Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game,” bringing the classic appeal of adventure with the punishing difficulty of retro-inspired gaming. Search inside ancient ruins, seeking out the “Secret Treasure of Life” – which sleeps in the sprawling ruins of “LA-MULANA” and is said to be the beginning of all civilization.
In the spirit of Spelunker (1983).
