Reviews of Broderbund's edition name Tim Martin and MicroGraphic Image as Spelunker's authors. Electronic Games, in April 1985, heads its review "Designed by Tim Martin / and Micro GraphImages", and David Stone, in Computer Gaming World's February 1985 issue, wrote that "MicroGraphic Image and Tim Martin, the game's authors, deserve at least one kudo each".p. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, SpelunkerMagazine
David Stone reviewed Broderbund's Atari version in Computer Gaming World's February 1985 Atari Playfield column. He wrote that it "out jumps Jumpman" and outdoes Miner 2049er, that the cave is six levels deep and he had not reached the bottom after many hours, and that the game uses the keyboard beside the joystick: the space bar for the phantom blaster, F for a flare, D for dynamite. He missed a two-player mode and a way to skip to deeper levels, said it passed his "NO FAIR" test, and called it "a class act".p. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, Spelunkerp. 33 (image 33), Atari Playfield, SpelunkerMagazine
