Repton, the eponymous protagonist, walks around an underground maze in a quest to find all the diamonds (some being held in safes, their release being triggered by finding and collecting a key) within a time limit in each of several levels, while avoiding being trapped or killed by falling rocks and monsters hatched from eggs. The original Repton game was released in the summer of 1985 and has 12 levels, with passwords making it possible to jump directly to later levels. If passwords were used though, on completion of the final level, the displayed message challenged the player to complete the game without using them.

Repton 2 follows the same basic 'Boulderdash' puzzle style gameplay as its predecessor, and also adds a few new features to freshen things up: meteors, which would fall from the sky and kill upon contact, skulls, static objects that would kill the player if they were careless enough to walk into it, and the fast-moving spirits which would journey around the map hugging walls and objects and veering to any left-angles they came across.
