The briefing

About this game

In Caverns of Eriban, you pilot a mine supply ship tasked with delivering supplies to subterranean mining depots. Collect five supplies and refuel at one of five landing strips on the surface before navigating the caverns.

The ship’s momentum must be carefully managed as you avoid or shoot obstacles. Touching an obstacle or cavern wall costs one of eight lives, while landing too quickly beside a depot destroys the ship. Depot lights indicate their status: red means supplies are needed, and green means they have been supplied.

After delivering five supplies or when fuel runs low, return to the surface to collect another load. Developed by Lee Braine and published by Firebird Software, the game was released for Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, and Commodore C64/128/MAX.
