1985 State Soft (UK)
by Richard Parratt
A pretty Boulder Dash clone with a few catching objects to do. Sadly it drags a bit too slow to be fully enjoyable.
2,5 points
A jerky and impossible variation on Boulder Dash. The time limit is ultra-tight.
It's surely a challenge.

I love wintery games involving snow and things like that but the scroll is so painful this time that my nerves won´t take it ! ! ! !
2 out of 5 . . .

There are games here that were criminally ripped off by Satan, er I mean Harry Price, and then there was Icicle Works which was ripped off TWICE! Mind Your Head by Tynesoft in 1986 and Gangplank in 1987 by the ironically and prophetically named Pirate Software both stole code from this game. What a bastard. This could have been a decent Boulder Dash game but has letdowns. The scrolling is one and a second is it doesn't seem to give you enough time to complete a level bar the gimme first level and the slowdown associated with the scrolling doesn't help. Pity really because the potential was there but it doesn't quite meet them. But at least it debunks the myth that Harry Price only ripped off shit games to make them even shittier, because this is not terrible by any means.
