Long-lost NES puzzle game Xcavator, initially developed in 1991 by Chris Oberth, is making a comeback thanks to a collaboration between iam8bit and the Video Game History Foundation. This fully polished cartridge edition, priced at $100, not only revives a piece of gaming history but also supports archival efforts aimed at preserving the legacy of 8-bit gaming. The release includes an authentic NES cartridge and a detailed manual that dives into the game’s troubled past, Oberth’s career, and the broader challenges of preserving video game history.
