I was actually looking for boulder dash, but I can't get it to load.

Hey, that brings back some memories! Thanks for the link!

BTW, Boulder Dash works fine for me.

You didnt happen to find Marble Madness did you?

I miss my Amiga...

I got Boulder Dash to work, but I guess I don't remember the rules, because I'll think I'm safe, and all of a sudden I'll blow up with those purple diamonds surrounding me...

There is a Marble Madness port being developed using the Unreal Tournament 2003 engine.

Looks ace.

But Marble Madness just wouldn't be the same without slamming that huge trackball around...

Exactly. But the good news is a good arcade-quality 3" USB or PS/2 trackball (like the one found in Marble Madness/Golden Tee arcade machines) can be had for about $80. I have one that's someday going to go into a MAME cabinet.

In boulderdash, (I was a master when I was 12), you can push boulders into open space, support them with your head; but if they fall on you, you're dead. If you let one of those flashy things touch you, you're dead. [lock, stock] infact you're going to have to work very yard to stay alive[/lock, stock]

runs in dos, scary

That's what I thought the rules were, but I was dying in places where i thought I was safe, and when I died, that's when I saw the purple diamonds. I never touched those in the game, but for some reason I'd just be digging around and all of a sudden I'd die!
