| Cavern Duel is a two player split-screen arcade game with a simple objective - to kill your opponent within a maze of caverns.
Choose from a variety of weapons while on your travels, and collect armour to boost your chances. Food and potions increase (or decrease!) your health, affecting your chances when in battle.
If you are feeling creative, why not try and design your own caves with the accompanying level designer? It's very easy to use, and allows you to design really fiendish caves to try out on your friends!
The software is freeware, so there's nothing to lose, except perhaps many hours of fun and frolics! | |
