Chris writes: "Boulder Dash XL is, for those of you too young to remember, a remake of a classic 80′s game, Boulder Dash. While some remakes can only be linked to their original iterations with very loose threads, and have become something other than what they originally were, other remakes stay true to their original source and present a new game with a classic feel. Boulder Dash XL is definitely one of the latter, and that is a very good thing in its case."
AR: 1984 was chock full of good stuff. Michael Jordan. The Mac commercial. Miami Vice. It was the year of the unforgettable Icon.
It was also the year of Boulder Dash. Y’all remember Rockford and his timed adventure hunting for diamonds. Well, Rockford is back in HeroCraft’s remade retro Boulder Dash-XL.
PadGadget: There is nothing sweeter than being able to go back to your childhood for a few wondrous moments. Not the bad part of childhood, where you dad takes away your skateboard for a week because you were out past sundown. The good part, the times when you spend long, lazy summer days playing video games on your Atari. Well, you can relive those sweet bygone days again with Boulder Dash-XL.
AppSpy: While the variety of choice is nice, Boulderdash is a game of its time, and this does little to revamp it for a new audience.
