Boulder DashC64

Yay, Boulder Dash was great. Or at least the GB version was. Dunno about the C64 version, but according to the rating it can't be that bad either.

Excellent release and a classic C64 game, the sound effects bring back fond memories

@ Kelvin
I never knew there was an NES version of this game. Was it released in the US?

The NES game was my first and pretty much my only version of Boulderdash (I believe I played some free version too I think at some time). The first two worlds were enjoyable but then it got really hard.

The first is still the best... Atari and then C64 version.

Aw Man! Retro Gamer had a whole article on the history of Boulder Dash, and it sounds like an awesome game. Reminds me of Dig Dug. But we can't play this version cuz America doesn't get C64 games, and I don't think my cell phone is capatible with the mobile versions.

With any luck, we might see the NES version pop up in American Wii shops sometime. I sure hope so.

This looks very much like the PSone Net Yaroze game Rocks n Gems. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, could you tell me if that and this are just about the same and how this compares? kthxbi

@Tony: I can't be sure, but I believe the NES version was indeed released in the US.

@WiiloveitOnline: Yes, Rocks n Gems is essentially a Boulder Dash clone. I think there are some minor differences, but if you liked the PS1 game, you should enjoy this.

@Tony,

The Nes version of Boulder Dash was released in the U.S. I have a copy of it.

@Kelvin: thanks! I'll definitely consider this one, then, since I know that the formula works.

I'll take a C64 version over a NES version anyday due to the fact that Nintendo makes no effort to PAL optimise its NES games.

This is similar to http://www.greenface.de/
But this C64 Game costs only 5 euro.

too bad i still own the original C64 version, otherwise i'd have downloaded it. I still own boulder dash 1 & 2 for my C64. I prefer by far the second one. If this one was to be released on VC, i'd download it even if i still own the original.

Good to know There were so many NES games I guess I never paid attention to this. Maybe the VC can rectify that mistake. I like the goofy character on the front. Its so 1980's looking.

i am still waiting for C64 to be available for the US VC. _ lol..is there a reason why it's not happening? I would like to download a few C64 games...lol dreams about Jumpman and Boulder Dash...

Yeah, I'd like C64 games, too. Australia (and New Zealand, I didn't forget about you guys) are considered part of Europe concerning video games, yet we haven't got them either! [We haven't got SPOGS racing (WiiWare) but we got Axelay as opposed to Europe, but that's beside the point]

_{dreams that Caveman Ughlympics came to AUS VC}

i need download =/

I've got a lot of fond memories of playing this game on my Commodore 64 back in the day. One of the greats of the Commodore 64 era indeed.

i played it on nes, was fun for a puzzle game
not sure if i had it on C64, cuz i were very young back then
4/5
nice times back then on nes, but its same game isnt it? at least same style
i remember that slimey enemy, have to lock it up to get diamonds
i think the first level was to learn how it works, nice job by nintendo

Boulderdash is rock hard, if you pardon the pun. Although it has similarities to Dig Dug it's not really anything like it. I never really got into it to be honest!

I should d/l this soon. looks fun. I remember playing w/ my fam's C64 back in the 80's.

hmm after watching and listening:
i dont remember playing this one (C64 version), but i do remember that music from the nes (i think)
maybe i'll gte this one later, its really nice having something of the past, and in this case something i dont remember playing

I live in Australia and it doesn't seem to be available for me to download???

UH, HELLLOOO..any other C64 games coming out?!!??
have they abandoned the platform?
There are tons of great C64 games still to be released.
Maby nintendo has been discouraged by low sales.?? : (

It is one of my favorite games in the Wii VC. It is a shame they quit the Commodore in VC.
