Quantcast



First Star Software have sent over some screens for their upcoming Boulder Dash Rocks!, a graphical makeover of their classic PC title. The game will be coming to the Nintendo DS this November, and the Sony PSP version will follow in the first quarter of 2008.

The arcade-puzzler (developed by the smelly sounding British studio, Tuna Technologies) follows the adventures of the game's main character, Rockford as he attempts to collect diamonds and avoid perils which face him at every perilous turn. Rockford (not to be confused with 80s pop-singer, Rockwell of "Somebody's Watching Me" fame) has a number of tools at his disposal such a bombs, laser guns (pew pew pew!), and more.

Each version of Boulder Dash Rocks! will contain a platform specific mode, never before available -- so that means you'll just have to buy them both, right?

I feel bad that no one cares about this story, Brutal. So here's a mercy comment.

Dude, Boulder Dash EX brought back so many memories when I found it for the GBA... wish that one would get a rerelease or reprinting.

@ Richard:

That was very nice of you, but it's OK. I spent more time water marking the images than I did writing the story. :D

This is the only version of Boulder Dash that is actually colorful and pleasing to the eye. The old ones always had the Gears Of War color palette.

And another thing, what's the point of watermarking screenshots? Is it really that important to let people know that these masterpieces of screenshots are yours?

Wow, I have extremely vague memories of playing this a long time ago.

I'm a puzzle game whore, so I'll probably get a copy of this when it drops.
