Boulderdash

I've had an irrational adversion to writing a review of this game for about two months, but that's not realted to the quality of it at all. Boulderdash is quite the nifty puzzle game, based on a similar (although superior) arcade machine of the same name. You play a miner traveling trough eight lands trying to collect diamonds. You'll have to dig through the ground, and boulders are both your friend (as they kill monsters by falls on them) but also YOUR enemies (as they will kill you in the same way.) Each of the 32 levels follws the same pattern, dig and rearrange boulders falling to get the required amounts of diamonds and then search for the exit. Of course, the patterns of the levels becomes more difficult. Howver, the curve is nice and linear, making a great NES puzzle challenge.
