Boulder Dash Forum

It's so obvious, it's painful

MMh, I'd really like a video of doing cave P without opening Pandora's Box, so far it seems impossible.

I've uploaded it to Vimeo, don't know how they managed to mess up the quality though. BTW, have you tried to get Vice 2.1 for Linux? You should be able to watch my history then.

Check results of C64 Power Game Mod Compo where 3 new versions of Boulder Dash was released! Just got aware of these. Thank god I have stuff to puzzle while waiting for TLC 7. Who will pass Brain Delicacy without problems? I beat all caves except one - cave N :) I won't say without problems, they w...

WTF ?? I'm currently reviewing my levels I've made with BDCK and there's one cave where I have to push a lot of boulders around which I'd completed in the past. I remember it was a hazzle to get those boulders pushed, even with button pressed. Why is that? OK, they are heavy but it happens I'm push...

Are we talking about different longplays? The once Arno submitted to our page were vigorously checked for having no breaks that would interrupt the flow of the game cause this is boring for the people watching it. I can't remember having seen any.

Given the fact that Arno has already made very efficient longplays of it I don't see a reason to make a text walkthrough. A picture's worth a 1000 words.

Are we talking about Vice and longplays, or about selfmade games? Both. I'm having trouble with the fact that even when using your Deluxepacker 1.55 to make a standalone version of my levels I've made with the Construction Kit I've bought back in the day I would offer code that is copyrighted. Now ...

Because there is none related to it.

You know I was kidding, right? Anyway, nice work with the math entry to your FAQ.

Arno's welcome PM encouraged me to introduce myself here. I've started playing Boulder Dash in the early 80s on my C64, loved part 2 and still hate the design of part 3 and alterations with new physics ;) After having played through all 500+ levels on the first (?) Noone disk I turned my attention t...

So what you're saying is that I would need the engine executable to play my selfmade levels which does not enable anyone to create levels from it and thus might be less objectable by the current rights holders. Haven't tried this so far but how does the game look? Do I load the levels from a menu or...

I've made a longplay of me completing the cave UnlimitedStar23 had trouble with and he asked if he could put it up on his page. I'm usually fine with it, the problem however is that this might be a copyright violation and I'm not very interested in getting sued by some overzealous lawyer. As you may...

Just out of curiosity, hasn't Arno already submitted BD 1+2 as longplays?

I suck at math so please bare with me. Why 50%? I mean the Firefly has 4 directions it can be facing the moment it's released. I've never been able to determine which from it's animation though
