Boulder Dash kind of game - Very loud death sound

Inverand · 10 October 2022, 04:43

I remember playing this game on Amiga 3000.

Most likely shareware but I cannot be 100% sure.
The game could be launched from the file explorer. It was not full screen.

It was a kind of Boulder Dash game where you have to complete levels by solving a puzzle on the screen. The puzzle was mostly related to pushing objects. I do not remember if you had to reach an exit or collect particular items to finish a level.

You were not digging dirt like in Boulder Dash. The background was a very bright green. It looked like a low budget Chip's Challenge.
You could die via various traps including arrows and boulders.

When you died, the character screamed very loudly. It was very startling compared to the volume of the other sounds in the game.

There was no music, just minor sounds when your character or obstacles moved.

Sounds like Werner Flaschbier, it had a loud "WUARRGHHH" death sound. Quite startling.

Think it might be Cave Runner?

I found it.

It was Wanderer. A freeware game from 1989. Was in the Fish collection.

The level screen was much bigger in my memory.
If you listen to Wanderer/bin/sounds/death you'll understand why I remembered the death scream specifically.
