Sydney Hunter and the Shrines of Peril is a Homebrew Video Game for the Intellivision by CollectorVision Entertainment Games. It is the second game in the Sydney Hunter series.
The player needs to guide Sydney Hunter through a series of screens with enemies in them to reach the shrine at the end and collect the treasure that's resting on top before time runs out. Once that happens, the game starts over from the beginning, and the player gets to do it all over again.
The game was released in 2014.
