Download Boulder Dash We may have multiple downloads for few games when different versions are available. Just one click to download at full speed! DOS Version. An old adventurer himself, Stoneford tells his son of the underground land of Boulder World. Instructing him to find the Secret Jewels of the Six Worlds, he dies.
Thus the stage is set for Rockford to explore the six worlds of Boulder Dash. This NES version is not the first however. Boulder Dash was the brainchild of Chris Gray and saw much success in the computer world.
Rockford's task is to explore four different towns in each of the six worlds and collect the required number of diamonds in each town in order to advance to the next world. After the requirement is met for a town, a secret door appears that enables Rockford to advance to the next town. As each world is completed, a password is given so that play may be started at that world any time.
An on-screen map shows Rockford's progress through each town and world as play advances. One or two players may play, alternating play as one or the other dies. Each game begins with four lives, with extras awarded every 2, points. When these are expended, unlimited continues are available to allow continuation in the current world, although each of the four towns must be completed once again. Clearing each town entails much more than simply running around picking up diamonds, however.
A definite strategy exists for each town, both in acquiring the required number of diamonds and avoiding the various enemies that creep about the towns. Nine different enemies oppose Rockford but may be defeated by either dropping rocks upon them or by trapping them and allowing the amoeba to engulf them. When the amoebas are trapped by walls or rocks, they are turned into diamonds, sometimes providing the last few diamonds needed to advance to the next town.
Certain walls also can provide a wealth of diamonds when activated by dropping rocks through them. Boulder Dash is much more a strategy game than an action game; thought and patience are the key to success. The strategy required to master this game can be difficult until a town is figured out and often remains difficult even if the correct procedure is known.
Graphically, the rocks, mud and walls can only be represented so many ways, so stunning backgrounds shouldn't be expected. Before game play begins, players may choose the color of their player, but this doesn't serve to boost the graphic appeal much. The sounds and music aren't extraordinary, but adequate for a game of this type. Strategy and planning are the keys, therefore, the game play itself is the most important aspect, and Boulder Dash provides a hefty dose of challenge.
This gives the game a limited audience, because the action aspects are somewhat restricted, but good reflexes are nevertheless required in some areas. All in all, Boulder Dash provides the same kind of challenge as its computer and arcade counterparts and is a good strategy offering for the NES, with just enough action to keep you on your toes.
Younger players may find this game a bit intimidating due to the fine line between determination and frustration contained in this one. Ever get stuck between a rock and a hard place? You are Rockford, a young adventurer entrusted with your father's failed quest -- to find the Secret Jewels of the Six Worlds for riches beyond your wildest dreams! It's no surprise that Rockford's father never completed this quest -- it's darn tough!
