Broderbund published Spelunker for Atari computers and the Commodore 64. Computer Entertainer's December 1984 Availability Update lists "x-Spelunker (BRO)" for the fourth quarter under both Atari computers and the Commodore 64; the page's legend for the x is cut off at the scan's edge after "x - indicates sh". Electronic Games gave Broderbund's Atari version as a 48K disk at $29.95, and COMPUTE! reviewed it in July 1985 for the Commodore 64 with a disk drive and for Atari 400, 800, XL or XE computers with at least 48K and a disk drive, at $29.95.	`p. 52 (image 54), Reviews, Spelunkerp. 53 (image 55), Reviews, Spelunker`	Magazine
Steve Hudson reviewed Spelunker for the Commodore 64 and Atari computers in COMPUTE!'s July 1985 issue. In his account the goal is the Hidden Pyramid, in the deepest corner of a cavern of six levels, past bats, ghosts, lava, and steam vents. He found the graphics "exceptionally well done", the scrolling faultless, and the sound effects worth praise, and compared it with Lode Runner as a game that "exercises mind as well as muscle".	`p. 52 (image 54), Reviews, Spelunkerp. 52 (image 54), Reviews, Spelunkerp. 52 (image 54), Reviews, Spelunkerp. 53 (image 55), Reviews, Spelunkerp. 53 (image 55), Reviews, Spelunker`	Magazine
