I love the original 8bit versions of BoulderDash (hence my avatar) but all the updates since have ruined the purity to me. The most recent 3DS and XBox360 versions were dire.

I have to mirror this. The old classics are incredibly fun to play, a great trip down memory lane. But with these new ones, there's none of that magic. They look like something made in Multimedia fusion or game-maker with clip-art found on the internet by an inexperienced fan of the originals. They're too basic, bright and awfully amatuer looking at best.

I'd of preferred if they just updated it to something with a pixelated retro 16-Bit style. Or something a lot less colourful and better drawn to fit in better. Spoils the collection really. But hey, personal preference and all that.

What about their recent update from a couple years back on the Atari 2600? Can't get much more 8bit retro than that.



Anyway, if they are going to call it The Full Collection then I think it should have every one of them and every port to every system so that everyone can play the ways they remember it. It is cool that they brought Boulder Dash to the OUYA though.

Boulder Dash is awesome. If you don't like the newest games in the collection, just don't play them and enjoy the original ones here. Great stuffs.

If they hadn't I would have brought my own clone, RockRush to OUYA.







Those are all old images from the DOS version - I updated it for GP2X, Wiz and Caanoo a while back.

You probably still could bring it. There is already one clone on there. You might as well bring yours too.

Hehe, they are not too fond of clones tho, for example they forced my game off the OUYA

When did this happen? I have seen it there forever and it is still on my hard drive with the rest of Discover. If they aren't fond of clones then there are a lot for them to remove because a lot of games are clones or really close by being the same type of game. I tried your game and it didn't seem like an exact copy.
