8-Bit Caching Rebooted Mystery Cache

In the history of computer and video games, the third generation, referred to as the 8-bit era began on July 15, 1983, with the Japanese release of the 'Famicom', known as the Nintendo Entertainment System or the NES in the rest of the world.

This generation marked the transition from block-base graphics to smooth hardware scrolling tile and sprite based graphics, which was a pivotal leap in game design.

Mr Ewok from Nebraska created a cache in 2012 which pays tribute to this era of gaming. The now archived cache GC39Q00 8-bit caching is a 'gem' of a game that you must complete to discover the coordinates. The custom geocaching elements he created in the game made this a superb cache.

Just as retro gaming is having a resurgence Mr Ewok has kindly given me permission to copy the base of this game and develop it to create this new hide. 

I have tweaked Mr Ewoks levels and added 2 new levels and the final level which holds the coordinates for the cache.

The difficulty level has gone into hyperdrive and sits at 5, matching the terrain rating. Making this an elusive 5/5.

If you're up to the challenge..........don't insert coin but read the below...

*UPDATE FEBRUARY 2022*. Sadly just like the 8-bit era, Flash is no longer supported on browsers, so unless you have not updated your computer for a long time then unfortunately the game is no longer playable. The method to obtain the coordinates has been changed and the walkthrough video can be watched for posterity.
