I saw this in last years of the nineties while surfing the net...
that site had some screenshots of this game and download link for it of course.
You wandered in an old mine, you could climb from platform to another using ladders and there were skeletons wandering around. I have a memory it looked very much msx-1 style, except multicolour sprites.
I think it was dutch game...?

not Inca, it was made for MSX2.
And not Rick Dangerous.
Graphically it had much less details than Rick, and looked more simple, graphics had colours, but should I say it looked like simple BASIC language game?
I cannot provide more information, as I saw those screenshots 10 years ago...  |

You're not talking about King's Valley 1, are you?
When I was a kid, [insert nostalgy speech here]. There was this one game that was very much like the one you described. I can't remember much (not even the name), because I played it 18 years ago, but I remember there was a little guy with a pick axe, and ladders, and skeletons. You controlled the little guy with the pick axe, and dug traps for the skeletons. You could dig a trap only on your left side. Does this sound anything like the game you're talking about?

MVi, are you talking about Lode Runner? If so, I say that you could dig to your left and to your right.  |

Thanks, but nope, not neither King´s Valley or Loderunner....
I think it´s background had slightly more colour than Loderunner...
but ALL sprites were multicoloured. (hopefully I remember it correctly  )
And enemies really were skeletons and looked just like skeletons.
In King´s Valley enemies were mummies...
Any more ideas? |

MVi, it may be the game you described... but can´t say if it is... as I didn´t play it, I just saw screenshots...
hopefully someone knows the game MVi is talking about...

Hmm, after looking at some screenshots of Lode Runner, it looks a lot like the game I was talking about, but I remember that whenever I hit fire, the little guy dug a hole on the left side, regardless of which way he was facing. And judging by the screenshots I guess the enemies weren't skeletons after all.. so, never mind.  |

MVi, that´s because MSX standard supports TWO firebuttons...
One button makes hole to your left side and another button makes hole to your right side...
Either you need MSX joystick or press another fire-key on keyboard...

Yes, MaSaxi. When I got Lode Runner, I also thought that it could dig only to the left. Simply because I was using my old Atari 2600 VCS joysticks.  |

BTW, there are other Lode Runner clones, such as Rise Out From Dungeons.
