"Way back in “the day”, 1984 to be exact, you may have run across a game called Boulder Dash. The game has had many reboots and rehashes over the years, but the core mechanics of the original 8-bit gameplay still stands today. The purpose of the game was, and still is, quite simple. The player is cast as the daring chap (robot) by the name of Rockford. As Rockford you have two objectives: get as many diamonds as you can and don’t get killed. I’m sure some of you may have had ex’s that had the same goals. (ZING!)"

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.
