Boulder Dash® Deluxe

THE retro game and legendary action puzzler for players young and more experienced alike arrived, combining up-to date-graphics with original game features – spanning 35+ years of Rockford™ and his friends, digging though caves to collect gems - Boulder Dash® Deluxe!
Created by two Canadian programmers in 1984, Boulder Dash has become one of the longest running videogame franchises! The original Boulder Dash® is a pioneering interactive game dating back to the early times of the home computer and video game era. Its many sequels have delighted and challenged casual and hard-core players of all ages and sexes for over nearly four decades.

Boulder Dash® Deluxe takes you, together with the game character called Rockford™ into a myriad of new and exciting challenges. Dig through spectacular caves with 3D elements; avoid falling boulders; collect valuable gems and avoid nefarious enemies along the way. Discover treasure chests with rare collectibles and strong power-ups. Boulder Dash Deluxe includes 180 new exciting and unique levels. Plus, dig through 9 brand new worlds with high-end graphics and their own textures, dive into the Classic 1984 World with its caves or enjoy The Liepa World; a set consisting of 20 of the most mind-bending levels designed by the creator of the original 1984 Boulder Dash version and video game legend Peter Liepa. And, if that’s not enough, you will be challenged by 15 new special opponents ranging from Octopus to Snow Tiger. Boulder Dash® Deluxe truly is the pinnacle in 35+ years of Boulder Dash®!

While providing classic Boulder Dash® core gameplay mechanics and features, Boulder Dash® Deluxe introduces exciting new elements such as diagonal movement, which opens up new and intriguing puzzles while creating a very different and organic look for the caves.

On top of legendary previous versions, Boulder Dash® Deluxe features include:


  • 180 all-new levels with advanced features!
  • Includes 20 levels from the original 1984 Boulder Dash version
  • 9 exciting, brand spanking new worlds with high-end graphics, having their own, unique textures, go to Macmarnua Sea or Urath Castle – or back in time to the Classic 1984 World with its caves
  • 15 new special opponents like Octopus, Shark Polar bear, and Snow tiger will keep your mind agile and you on your toes.
  • The Liepa World, a premium world by videogame legend Peter Liepa who returned to the game he created 35 years ago with 20 of the most mind-bending levels yet!
  • Full character customization of your game character Rockford™, e.g. shirt, pants, shoes, eyewear, headgear, hair, and facial hair

Disappointing

Was excited for this, particularly about the included original. I had BD2 on the Atari back in the 80's and played for years. However this version does not live up to the original. The physics are different to its' detriment; eg if you kill one butterfly (or whatever creature turns into diamonds depending on theme) all the nearby butterfly's also explode, which completely eliminates the challenge on some levels. You just kill one butterfly and the level is over. Falling diamonds do not kill Rockford, nor does it kill you if you are caught in the death explosion of an enemy. These seemingly minor changes alter the gameplay and strategy significantly. I also found the level design in the new levels tedious, too often relying on you making exactly the right move at the right time (even when there is no way to judge exactly when that is) meaning you have to repeat that bit of the level over and over to pass it. Either that or they are way too easy (the first 2 worlds can easily be passed on the first try). Finally the game lacks the format of the original which had several iterations of every cave (eg cave A level 1, 2, 3 etc) which greatly extended playability. I would prefer just having the original version to this, the new graphics don't do anything for me and the bonus stuff seems unnecessary, but it's better than nothing I suppose, if you get it for a low price.

This is a Exalent game. Great graphics, I like what they did to it. The original Boulder Dash is included.

A solid reboot of a classic

Plays similar to the old game, with slightly cartooned up graphics and sounds. Smooth running. Has new power ups included, and different creatures. I like that it also includes the original classic game. Yes, the first couple of levels are super easy, but I gather they are to introduce the game and physics to noobs that have never played the original. Yes, some levels require a few runs to figure out how to best play it to achieve perfect, as was the orginal. As were most games back in the 80's and 90's that were designed to be figured out and MASTERED, not just run through with no real challenge. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this boulder dash down memory lane.
