Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Not needed, we plan an unlimited run this time Edited November 6, 2019 by Thomas Jentzsch 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Very exciting! I knew from another thread that it was in the works but to see a more official announcement like this is great. Kudos to all involved! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Great news! I was going to ask if the same artwork, but shall wait and see. Now if you can somehow get the original 1984 artwork on there... that would be something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Congrats Andrew and Thomas on working to release an updated version - based on past information this was clearly a big step for you guys to go back and for the community to benefit again from your hard work. Thank you ??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spspspsp Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 This is great news. I had been trying to get through the original demo, but that really starts you off in the deep end. I'd like to ease into playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Welp, there goes my investment... In all seriousness, this is awesome news. Thank you Andrew and thank you Thomas, both for your work on the original and your continued efforts to make everyone happy. That is never an easy task! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwelsh Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 This is Awesome news. Thank you to all involved! never was able to play this because of the aftermarket prices. very excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionoid Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This is very, very good news. Boulder Dash was one of my favorite games on the C64, and I can't wait to play the game on my '2600. Thanks for making this happening, Andrew and Thomas!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionoid Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 And great decision to do the new Boulder Dash as a unlimited run, so that the original run (limited to 200 carts) still keeps its value. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be significant differences in packaging/contents that make the original still a very attractive purchase. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 There will be significant differences in packaging/contents that make the original still a very attractive purchase.

King_Salamon Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 As one of the lucky people who got to play the game during it's voyage around the world tour... I will be looking for the unlimited release in the AtariAge store. I had a lot of fun during my week or so with the game... I didn't get enough time to really get good... heck I wasn't even decent at it by the time I was mailing it off to the next participant. I remember writing my review of the game and posted my thoughts in that thread. Some fun stuff there... it was such a fun idea and a fun project to participate in. Glad to hear your work will continue to be enjoyed by more and more fans! Congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spspspsp Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 If this goes well, perhaps you might consider porting the sequel, Rockford, too. I played the dos version quite a bit as a child. It looks just like a re-skin (five re-skins, I think), but I am not a Boulder Dash expert so I may be wrong there. I liked playing the doctor levels in particular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Ninja Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It's so neat that the original box states that the screenshot is an "actual game screen"! Oh, and a reproduction of that box would really be icing on the cake - crossing my fingers for the best, and hoping for a First Star Software logo to highlight its official Boulder Dash status! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulder Dash is not owned by First Star Software anymore, so that one is out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
