Boulder Dash: Rocks

[flumperino]

So most of us remember Boulder Dash, yes? An old skool classic.

But did you know that there is a Boulder Dash game for the DS? I certainly didn't!

It is definetely a cracker, and I've been playing it solidly for days. It has lost its retro feel somewhat (additional features & monsters etc), but I guess that 25 years have passed and things have to move on!

It's pretty good as modern conversions go!

It's been out a while, got it ages ago.
Anyway, I'm keen to share the wealth so I've upped it here.

Nice one, cheers mate. Will give me something other than Puzzle Quest to play lol

[mattress]

the missus is playing it all the time......but she's well stuck at the moment and keeps asking me to look for a game guide!

[Bensons]

Yeah, good game- not quite as good as the version I remember playing on the BBC micro though. (I was playing Strykers Run last night Anyone remember that gem?)

I completed this about a week ago. One thing that's bothering me though - I can't get the scores to show from the netherworld levels - I've completed them all, but the scores won't show up, so I'm unable to fully 100% complete the game and get all the rewards....dammit

From what I've seen in this thread, and elsewhere on the net, this game received a mediocre reaction. I must say I'm surprised, I thought it was a fantastic puzzler.

Flumperino,

I hate to dig up the past but can you remember how to complete world 4 level 7? It's the level with the skulls and the spiders. The missus has recently picked the game back up and is stuck here. Once again I have searched the net for a guide but it must be the only game that hasn't got one written up by anyone!

cheers

Blimey mate, I don't remember it has been a while.

Will see if I still have the save file for it though and have a gander if I do.

I do recall a few of those world 4 levels being quite tricky

Looks very similar to an old DOS game I had called Rockford.

Just had a quick bash, can remember how to do that level. Where are you getting stuck?

I got 3 windows version episodes of boulderdash, is it the same one?

[mattress]

Flumperino,

she's eventually finished that level but she said she's struggling elsewhere! To be honest, I am getting tired of getting my shins punted every time she plays the damn game in bed. She becomes so damn animated in her failure!

I don't even want to get started on it. She plays the damn thing all night, every night......the again, maybe I should.

You should give her a kicking mate, she should have completed it by now if she plays it every night

That's what happens when we let girls play games I suppose

I know. I've told her (from a distance) that she's fucking useless but she keeps challenging me to play it. I wouldn't mind, just to show her up, but it might bite me on the arse!
