Another news story that's worth a mention, as Saberman has just let us know through Facebook, that Raiders of the Lost Empire has released a Junior VIII Scarab School Trip edition of First Star Software's classic game ' Boulder Dash '. This game originally released in 1984 for more computers that we can think of with a multitude of clones and sequels, yet again see's a younger version of Rockford collecting diamonds while avoiding falling boulders, but this time the game is set in ancient Egypt!
Boulder Dash, is a video game released in 1984 by First Star Software for Atari 8-bit computers. There have been numerous versions and sequels in this series for numerous interactive platforms including: Apple II, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, ColecoVision, NES, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, PC, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Intellivision, Mac, Xbox 360 and many other platforms. In this fun little game however you must dig your way through the underground collecting Diamonds, while also avoiding bad moving things and being squashed by large heavy boulders. So yes very much like boulder dash, but featuring new levels, a great soundtrack and as mentioned above is set in ancient Egypt.
