THE REMAKES
Rockford™ and Crystal™, heroes of Boulder Dash®, one of the greatest classic video games, get their bits and bytes together to make their Next Gen-Debut.
Back in the 80’s, when hairstyles were wild, music was electronic and video games were sold on Music Cassettes in Europe (yes, it’s really true!), Boulder Dash® won our hearts by storm. The creative and frantic gameplay mix required both our reflexes and brains to avoid murderous rock slides of Boulders and get our hands on those precious Diamonds in 20 fun-filled Caves infested by Fireflies, Butterflies and Amoebas.
In 2011 our childhood heroes take it to the Caves again on Xbox 360 and PC in Boulder Dash® – XL™! Leaving the essence of what we all love about Rockford’s classic quest for Diamonds intact, Boulder Dash® returns Next Gen-Style, with new, exciting Game Modes, Gameplay Elements, Monsters and more Diamonds to snatch than ever before!
Beware of the Rock Slides!

RoX is a freeware Windows game created by Ilya and Dmitriy Safro.
It’s similar in many ways to my Commodore 64 favorite Boulder Dash,
but with very stylish modern graphics and music.
I created this page because I found no RoX information or custom level sets on the Internet.
The official Safrosoft site is down indefinitely.
But there is hope that we might eventually see more by Safrosoft, including a sequel to RoX.

BOULDER
In Boulder Remake (aka Boulder Dash Remake) you play as a person in a cave who must find all the diamonds in the cave and then make it to the exit before time expires. This is much easier said than done. It is a very difficult game. There are many obsticles to overcome. Some of which are: Balls can fall on you. Items can case after you. And of course there are barriers. If the 16 already made caves are to hard, modify them or make your own with the built in cave editor.
There is not much music in Boulder Remake but make sure you have the sound on so you will hear the neat sound effects. In full screen mode the game uses a 640×480 resolution with a black border around the cave. The in game help accessed by pressing ‘H’ is very good but make sure you pause your game first. or time will run out.
