About this game

Dark Cavern is an action shooter for the Atari 2600, released in 1982 by M-Network.

Players guide five men through an underground cavern one at a time. Blobs, spiders, and robots enter through the side doors as the player navigates tunnels, collects ammunition, and shoots the creatures. Robot fire must be avoided, as a hit ends the current action and brings the next man into play.
