Title: All New BYOAC High Score Competition! Game #71 (300): Boulder Dash
Post by: NuclearWarren on August 24, 2020, 06:44:48 pm
Boulder Dash is one of a small handful of games ported from 8-bit computers to the arcade. Over the years, Boulder Dash has made its way to consoles, computers, and iOS. In 2011, it was released for the Atari 2600 of all things! Hopefully all the ports are testament to a great game concept. Does anyone remember it? Does anyone know the most ported game of all time?

For the competition, I was thinking we should stay with the default world order, but it might be more interesting for players to find their own way to a high score--so start wherever you like. Sorry Yam, I think there is an ice level.

----------------------------------
Game Name : Boulder Dash
ROM Name  = bouldash
----------------------------------

Controls:   
    4 way joystick, 1 Button*

* I think there is a second button--when both buttons are pressed, you can escape the level if you get trapped or otherwise can't exit the puzzle.

Sure, I remember Tetris. But this is about Boulder Dash.
