A pixel-perfect homage to the 8-bit games of yesteryear, in particular those made during the Commodore 64/Spectrum era, Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan sees you play as the titular Sydney Hunter – an explorer who gets trapped inside a Mayan pyramid while he’s out exploring! He soon discovers that the “Feathered Serpent” Kukulkan has broken up the sacred Haab calendar into seven individual pieces and has hidden them inside a pyramid.
The aim of the game is to find all seven pieces of the Haab calendar, defeat Kukulkan, and return peace and balance to the Mayan civilization… All wrapped up in a hard-as-nails platformer that, whilst apparently inspired by Montemzuma’s Revenge, feels very much like a modern spin on the dead-hard Rick Dangerous series (a game I played to death during my C64-owning days) – and both of which are clearly inspired by Indiana Jones!
