to ulubiona moja gra ciekawa i zmuszająca do myślenia polecam
Boilder Dash 2 cave M seems to be broken. Stones do not fall through the water when you undermine earth beneath it. If you watch original level walkthrough, they must drop. Otherwise it is impossible to complete this cave.
Me trajo recuerdos de los juegos antiguos de las consolas como Atari. Mi video: https://youtu.be/tAvccatvLC0
BEST!
Love Boulderdash I have the 30th Anniversary edition also. That version has more graphic options than this one and runs smoother on old hardware (Intel HD4000). This 40th Anniversary edition has absolutely no graphics options at all. That being said, it shouldn't be a demanding game graphically anyway. I can't get a good framerate which makes it less smooth when playing - eye strain material. I'll stick to the 30th anniversary which is much smoother and easy on the eye for me. I still recommend this game (though it is a bit pricey), it's a fantastic game, always has been. Just dont get it if you have low end hardware - even though its Boulderdash! perhaps its poorly optimised. Dev's, at least add some graphic settings for that price !?!!?!?? Refunded.
Nice addition to the Boulderdash collection :)
Weckt viele Gefühle für frühere c64 spiele, schade nur das nur ein Teil der Spiele da ist. Schön ist das es immer ein paar Level als Hilfe gibt, jedes Level ist für sich spielbar
