The previous one was ok, I just said that (in my opinion) it doesn't go along with the signature ;-) Well, it looked like some hardware parts in Supaplex, I just couldn't find Murhpy there (maybe, as I said, because it was too small a picture).
So feel free to change it back.

OK, you've convinced me -- see the "Announcements" section for details. :-)

BTW: If you need more level sets for testing, just let me know and I'll update the archive accordingly. I've started with those sets you (and others) have already mentioned.

Hmm, what is "boulder dash deluxe"? I only know the "classic" C64 Boulder Dash, which has a fixed amount of features, and an advanced version (was it BD II?) that has some additional features like "slime". As far as I know, the physics of the game engine I have the source code for covers the features of these two versions.

I just received a strong reason to start with BD instead of SP: 550 native BD games. That's around 11000 (eleven thousand) classic style Boulder Dash levels! =:-)

But first I have to finish the EM engine and release 3.2.0...

and how about the 3460 native supaplex levels? :)

But I must agree: I've seen various sites with native boulderdash levelsets.

Watch my avatar! That orange little thing is Murphy, the Supaplex star!

Yes, it's a hard decision -- so many nice level sets available!

Although it seems that Supaplex has the biggest still active fan community these days...

Yep, there are more BD levels out there as a human can play (except bojster, I assume ;-) ).
