Boulderdash EX is a great puzzle game. It may remind
you of the classic Dig Dug but it is much more than that.
Not only do you dig you way through levels, you also have
over 10 icons to collect that give you special powers such
as bombs, extended reach, board rotation, and more.
For those of you 25 and older, you may remember the original
version of this game. Well, good news! All of the 100
levels from the original are here too. New gamers may not
appreciate the classic gameplay, but for us old timers, it
is a trip down memory lane.

I love this game!

I had the original on my Amstrad years ago. The original they include with this version is faithful to the old one down to the chunky graphics and old skool noises.

I started playing the original game when I got this (ah, the memories). It got a bit tricky, so I started playing the Boulder Dash X version. Got totally addicted and played almost constantly for a few days and completed the 75 levels. Then had a break... had to play more so played through all 75 levels again, getting 'perfect' scores (collecting all of the jewels on each level). Still wanted to play, so got back into the original levels... which are trickier then the X levels... still working my way through them... gotta get those jewels...

I dont know about this particular game, but if its anything like the origional big brother of the classic NES system you'll lose a lot of sleep trying to beat this game. Fast paced movement matched with split second decision making and a lack of sleep amount to crazy antics in the diamond mines, ocean floors, ancient pyramids, Mayan temples and more. I just hope this revamp of a classic does as good as or outshines the origional. Maybe it'll revert me back to my childhood
