[4.4.1.3] "Boulder Dash" > "Various" > "Boulder Dash 3 Atari": "Intermission 2 / 1", can't reach exit

Heya folks, I decided out of whim to play the Boulder Dash collection, because it's the recent thing Rocks'n'Diamonds has added with a native Boulder Dash engine...though it looks like as if at least from the outside, and based on my skim readings, there are various takes on how these kind of levels...

Re: Tigris Mythos - New R'n'D Version

I randomly stumbled across this today -- the pointed-to materials are no longer at the given URL, nor its WayBack Machine echo. I wonder if the author is still present here; or if anyone else has copies of this 'Tigris Mythos' levelset. Google searching on 'dioram tigris mythos' was thoroughly unhe...

Re: Emerald Dash levelsets in the Emerald Mine Club collection not properly playable

Watching more of the YouTube videos, there's some interesting instances of using elements from Emerald Mine within the Emerald Dash levelsets, some within the levels themselves, but most from level 00: https://youtu.be/XN9o5PtKxSs?t=605 - Emerald Dash 16, level 01: Acid pool and the associated acid ...

Emerald Dash levelsets in the Emerald Mine Club collection not properly playable

Heya folks, I recently got back in the kick of Boulder Dash-like games as of late, and one of things that I wanted to bring up is the Emerald Dash levelsets unable to be played normally in Rocks'n'Diamonds through the the Emerald Mine engine. I wasn't sure if this should be under the 'Bug Reports' s...

You know, it's been 20 years since the creation of this forum

What the topic title says. So seriously, time flies, and finding it out from referring to when Holger created their forum account, or https://www.artsoft.org/2004/06/18/2-launch-of-the-final-rocksndiamonds-web-forum/ - which is on June 2004. As newer people may not know, this is actually the third i...

Hello simperror, Thanks for sharing your history with us especially with the levels you made for the MS-DOS version of Heartlight, it means a bunch within the realm of the rock and gem genre that Boulder Dash has made it happen with countless games inspired or taken from in the first place to see yo...

... my question: have you attempted to contact YouTube user 'simperror' to request their 'levels.hl' file, as stated in the comment? Granted, they may not still be attached to the account 15 years later, but it should definitely be attempted... BTW I patched the game line in the above quote, so it'...

Re: Heartlight, a 90s single-screen Boulder Dash-like by Janusz Pelc

Thanks, RAP, for making us aware of this game. I binged to level 55 this afternoon while the wife and kids were out somewhere. I've decided to save the rest for tomorrow. It's got some really clever little puzzles and the grenades and balloons are interesting game elements. Cheers, Jamie How has be...

Nice stuff you found, ellipirelli! Seems this is all what it had right now on the internet, which is unfortunate. I feel there should've been a lot more back then but time hasn't been kind for a lot of the obscure and forgotten games, this one Heartlight being no exception. So, a week ago, I was try...

Heartlight, a 90s single-screen Boulder Dash-like by Janusz Pelc

firefox_2023-08-12_20-50-13.png So, about a week ago, I played a game called Heartlight, which I didn't know until recently that it was an older game that I thought! I originally played it as an Adobe Flash game all those years ago, and I thought it was made in the 2000s, but realizing it was relea...

Oh hey, the bug did indeed got fixed, thanks Holger. And yeah, here's the Emerald Mine levelset that I made that I was talking about, called Random Placement Mine .
