Updated graphics
A few days ago we previewed the classic game of Boulder Dash for the iPhone. Boulder Dash was a game that was originally released in 1984 for a number of home computer platforms such as the Commodore 64 and Apple II.
As seems to be the case with many classic ports, several of our readers were disappointed that the game included only enhanced graphics rather than the original set.
First Star Software’s founder and president Richard Spitalny noted these concerns and revealed in a comment that the company will be including a menu-selectable “Retro" mode in the game.
Based on the concerns expressed by some of you, we (First Star Software) have decided to ‘let the cat out of the bag’, so to speak, and include the ‘retro’ mode/option as a menu item, rather than including it as an ‘Easter egg’ as originally intended.
Original graphics also included in iPhone version.
Richard was kind enough to send on some screenshots of the retro mode though their publisher Chillingo. The game reportedly plays otherwise identically with 3 different controls modes as we previously detailed.
