Looks Like Classic Puzzler 'Boulder Dash' Is Getting A 40th Anniversary Re-Release

It used to look better on ZX Spectrum 40 years ago!

This is one of the Intellivision games Atari is angry at Tommy for selling before Amiico colapsed

Was a big fan of Boulder Dash on C64 that was literally a lifetime ago!) But have never bought a re-make as the price has always been far too high for what they've been... fingers crossed they don't get silly on this one...

I have fond memories of Boulder Dash, dunno if it really holds up well in this day and age though. But if I ever see it for a decent price I may go for it.

This used to scare me a lot when I was very young as this whole idea of being squished by boulders used to make me jump out of skin when I used to die. It was the 80s and no computer game ratings, I bet it's a 3+ as well! Simple game really and not far off Mr do or Mr driller concepts. I would probably enjoy this now and might give it a go

@Zeebor15 Unless there's a modern homebrew, Boulder Dash was never an Intellivision game.

I first played this as a similar game, Icicle Works on the Commodore plus/4.

Boulder Dash on NES was good. Every time this game gets remade though, the artwork gets worse and worse. Just release it with original NES graphics!

Played this on MSX in the late 80s. Ah, the good old days...

I played this on Commodore 64 in 1980's

played the 2020 release, it's an acquired taste, my favourite is the GB and the DS/3DS release, will keep an eye on this one

I have the switch version that’s already out, I found it to be quite a bit of fun and one of the few games I can actually see pretty good on the switch lite too!

@Atariboy correct. I was thinking of Astrosmash. BBG only owns 4 IP; two from Intellivision, and two it got through European trademark shenanigans. The other one is DYNABLASTER (spelled that way explicitly and exclusively)

Why not! I have both 30th and Deluxe on Switch already, but Boulder Dash is one of those comfort games for me where I can never have too many versions and I just have such goodwill toward the series that I tend to enjoy even the worst entries.

ZZAP!64 [still] has Rockford in the margins for a reason. Stone-cold classic (arf).

Boulder Dash on the NES is some of my absolute favorite video game music from that era. Right there with Fire n' Ice

My father had this game on the Commandore 64 Rockford's Revenge. My father was always playing this game but İ was very little kid then like 4, 5 or 6 years old. İ was watching it and sometimes playing it too. İt was so difficult for me but İ was a kid. İt was a very fun game back then.

Loved this game on C64, never finished it as some of those levels were hard, providing there is a physical I will get this. Hoping there is a button to change it to C64/original graphics

I remember playing this on DOS in the 90s and enjoyed it, I've tried some of the remakes but never liked the newer art styles

Can't wait this first played this 40 years ago on my Nintendo 😊

I wish this was DX, that game is great, the multiplayer was really cool.

I'll be keeping my eyes on this potential gem, pun intended.

This looks absolutely shocking. The original iteration is and always has been the best. It's already available on the other rehash which came out a year or two ago. Just get that.
