Boulder Dash is one of my favourite games too, Sendy. Like Jet Set
Willy. I even can't exactly say, what game I like more. I've checked
your page and have downloaded your room set, which looks like a real
challenge on the screenshots, seen by me. I promise to test it and say
much more words about it after I download an emulator for that platform.

> p.p.s. Igor, how is your Boulderdash game coming on?

Almost no progress at all, because I agreed not to spend time producing
another b-b clone and to create an almost new game in "rocks and
diamonds-style" with new engine for it, which won't have maps that
concern of squares and which will obtain much more realistic object
behavior and gravity (in a few words). Zx spectrum can't handle with
all these ideas and I suppose, that I will release such game in a
future, when I'll be able to create it, using modern computer
technologies, as a tribute to the old kind Boulder game.

p.s. great to see you here again, Sendy.
