Atari 2600 Boulder Dash® Christmas 2008 release?

[Andrew Davie]

I'm pleased to announce that in recent conversations with First Star Software, Inc. they have indicated their willingness to work with me towards a Christmas 2008 release of the original Boulder Dash® on the Atari 2600. Such release subject to my over coming a few remaining programming challenges.

Various videos of the 2600 version in action can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/user/atari2600guru

I am taking virtual no-money-down reservations for particular cartridge numbers so if you'd like to reserve a copy please see a certain other Atari site for the list.

Cheers

Wow... that's the 2600 version? Good job!

I've been a huge fan for years (bought Boulder Dash Construction Kit new in the 80s, have both homebrews, etc). I'm amazed you got an accurate version out of the 2600!

It's awesome to hear that First Star is going to allow this to happen! Thanks for the efforts, Andrew.
