Game similar to Boulderdash?

16 October 2005, 15:47

Hiyas,

I'm trying to find a particular game. It was similar to games like Boulderdash and Emerald Mines, only I don't remember you having to collect gems.

You started at the base of the screen and I think the object of the game was simply to dig out the rocks in the correct order so you could escape upwards.

Any ideas?

Oh no.

Please! Not another one who happens to look for King Size' Rocky?

Nope.

Like I said, I don't think the game involved diamonds or gems of any kind.

I've been through the Boulder Dash Database and didn't see it, which I kind of expected because I don't think it's just another BD clone.

From what I remember the premise was similar though, you were a dude surrounded by dirt with a bunch of boulders on top of you and you had to remove the dirt in a particular order.

Are you talking about Rockford?

PS. I remebered playing Rockford way back in the early 90s on my Amiga 500. When I found out about WinUAE, I wanted this again, was trying to think of this game name and thought it was Boulder Dash also... I know Boulder Dash is the original, but Rockford is much better in my humble opinion.
