      Close, but this game's main character wore a helmet.

      Also, it was made by Broderbund...

          This sounds familiar. Is it the game called, "Hard Hat Mack" by any chance?

            Nope.

            You also drop bombs to blow up rocks in your way.

                Nope.

                I didn't realize there were so many games with characters running around in caves, hint CAVES.

                  er... cave wars?
                  Montezuma's revenge?
                  Goonies?
                  Jet Set Willy?

                  I give up.

                  Give us another hint

                    I should have picked a game that really stood out in the genre of cave explorers.

                    More hints:

                    There was also an arcade version.
                    There was at least one sequel.
                    You climbed ropes, rode elevators and mine cars.
                    Rocks fell on your head.
                    You had to jump over geysers.
                    Slow moving ghosts attacked you.

                        Was it a game where you played a thief or something like that?

                            Ok for my game an all-time classic game, which I played on the Spectrum.

                            A clumsy wizard once misplaced a powerful tome, and now the land has plunged into everlasting gloom. You must enter a castle where it is suspected to have ended up, and seek it out to end the plight of the land.

                            More later after a few guesses.

                              You are correct!

                                ACK!

                                Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.
