Compare & Compre Chaves de CD Boulder Dash: 30th Anniversary PC remake

The original Boulder Dash format has been given a buff and a sheen. This anniversary edition presents an accessible remake that is lacking in soul. Perhaps a little more digging would have unearthed more of a gem.

If more time was poured into Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary's aesthetics and polish then it would be an excellent old-school experience.

It’s a little bit of a cop-out, but if you enjoy this series you are likely to wring a tremendous amount of gaming glee out of Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary. It’s vintage stuff and plenty of it. However, if you’re totally new to the series, you can expect to get viscerally frustrated by the old-school microcomputer cruelty exhibited by many of the levels; it’s also a little tainted by a terrible UI held over from its mobile game past. Still, the price is right and if you’re up for a proper challenge there are much worse ways to get your rocks off – or you could just wait a few years for Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary, which will most likely arrive on a Nintendo console many years after its initial release.
