Sticking with this recipe for success Ludosity have taken the Robot route with their latest game, Boulder Dash XL-3D. Fans of the Bolder Dash franchise may know that this is the 3DS version of the 2011 Xbox LIVE arcade game Boulder Dash XL, and from what I have played so far this game is proving to be even more addictive on the 3DS....."
"Boulder Dash is a concept that is ageing, but can still be worth playing from time to time. Whilst Boulder Dash-XL 3D was never worth it's full retail price, it makes a great eShop choice for it's new low price point." - Nintendo Feed
It’s retro time! Boulder Dash-XL 3d (A bit of a mouth full) is a remake of the classic Boulder Dash game that graced the home computers, and a few arcade machines of the mid 80s. Boulder Dash-XL 3D takes the same formula of the original games and spices it up with fancy new 3D graphics and a nice selection of game modes that will keep you going for a good while.
Coming in at just shy of thirty years, Boulder Dash is one of those series that stands alongside the likes of Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and Pac-Man to define just what a ‘classic’ videogame is. While it never penetrated the mainstream consciousness in the same way as many of its peers, Boulder Dash has had just as prolific a run as Frogger and Space Invaders, having delivered more than fourteen different titles and twenty editions since conception. The latest of which marks the first to grace the Nintendo 3DS console, and the first designed for stereoscopic 3D gameplay.
