Chris Oberth’s unreleased 1991 NES puzzle ‘Xcavator’ resurfaces thanks to Video Game History Foundation

[Redaktion]

Long-lost NES puzzle game Xcavator, initially developed in 1991 by Chris Oberth and never released, is being resurrected as a fully polished cartridge edition through a collaboration between iam8bit and the Video Game History Foundation. Priced at $100, the 2025 release includes an authentic NES cart and a detailed manual that chronicles the game's troubled past, Oberth's career, and the broader challenges of preserving 8-bit history, with profits supporting VGHF's archival efforts.
