In an exciting turn of events for retro gaming enthusiasts, the long-lost NES puzzle game Xcavator, originally developed by Chris Oberth in 1991, is making a comeback. Thanks to a collaboration between iam8bit and the Video Game History Foundation, this unreleased gem will be available as a fully polished cartridge edition in 2025. Priced at $100, the release not only includes an authentic NES cartridge but also a detailed manual that dives into the game’s troubled past and Oberth’s career, shedding light on the broader challenges of preserving 8-bit history.
