Pictures of the new Atari 5200 game Boulder Dash® shown in all four colors have recently been added to the Atari2600.com News page. The PINK version is shown below.
Boulder Dash® is the ultimate underground journey, but be forewarned- nothing less than perfection is required. Boulder Dash® will challenge your mind and reflexes like no other game! The objective of Boulder Dash® is to search through each cave and collect its many jewels in as short a time as possible. Once the indicated amount of jewels have been collected, the door to the mysterious escape tunnel is revealed and, you go on to the next cave. Strategy and planning will help you master the physics of Boulder Dash®. Boulders drop predictably enough but you and Rockford™ also have to block amoebas, transform butterflies, outmaneuver fireflies and overcome other numerous obstacles.
Boulder Dash® has been produced in a total quantity of 100 serialized games. Each game features a game cartridge with colored label, full-color instruction manual, and game box. These 100 games were manufactured in four different colored serialized boxes, each in a quantity of only 25 each. Pink boxes have been assigned serial numbers 1-25, red boxes 26-50, black boxes 51-75, and yellow boxes 76-100. The enclosed game cartridge has been electronically serialized on the title screen to match the box number.
Boulder Dash® for the Atari 5200 is available for preordering through the Atari2600.com Online Store. Why preorder? If you have specific color or serial number preferences then preordering is a good way to avoid disappointment. For example, the Black box version of Boulder Dash® II: Rockford's Revenge™ from 2005 sold out very quickly followed by the Red version. Owners of Boulder Dash® II: Rockford's Revenge™ may want to preorder to ensure they receive a matching colored box version of Boulder Dash®.
