8-Bit Fanatics creates Aban Hawkins and the 1000 Spikes
The Xbox Live Indie section offers a lot of 8-bit games, but this addition, Aban Hawkins and the 1000 Spikes, offers just about every plus of the old 8-bit games. Available on the Xbox Marketplace for 80 Microsoft points, this game is credited as being painful.
Within the game, you will not need one of the infamous 8-bit cheat codes to earn 1000 lives. You start with 1000 lives, for good reason. There are more than a 1000 ways to die, and chances are good that players will find about 999 of them.
This classic platformer offers the standard little adventurer, ala Indiana Jones, spikes, scorpions, falling walls and everything you would want in an 8-bit platform game, even the good old cheesy music. The game, like the old classics, is anti-check point, and with many, many levels, players will quickly see why 1000 lives was a good idea. Read more about this Indie game here.
