I have an idea for a Playstation Minis game that I would actually spend money on. Boulder Dash! Someone needs to acquire the rights for it, and turn it into a mini – I seriously lost weeks of my life to this game back when all I had to game on was a Commodore 64.
It’s a 2D game where you basically dig around through a maze, collecting diamonds. You can dig through dirt, but there’s also brick walls and other nastiness you can’t dig through. There’s boulders of course, which can fall and kill you, and you can push them around to solve the maze as well.
Timing is everything, snatching loose diamonds as they fall between two boulders isn’t uncommon, and some of the levels it’s only possible to collect all the diamonds if you flawlessly execute a movement through the maze at the perfect time, snatching them all up before they’re buried under boulders forever.
The game mechanics are simple, the level designs are fiendish, and I really think it needs to be ported to the PS3.
