Talk:Boulder Dash (video game)

message: Fireflies and butterflies don't explode directly on contact with Rockford. They explode only if they are trying to bump into Rockford, or vice versa. If Rockford only brushes against a firely or a butterfly when both are moving in parallel, but opposite directions, Rockford is safe. Unfortunately this does not happen as often as the bumping.

message: Are we certain that the Rockford coin-op actually came before the home computer versions?  Considering the fact that all of Arcadia's other arcade titles are essentially existing Amiga games modified for the Arcadia hardware (essentially an Amiga 500 modified into a coin-op), I'm skeptical that this is the case, but hesitant to change without firm release dates.  Both Amiga and arcade versions are dated 1988, as far as I'm aware.  Seeing as how the home ports were billed as "Rockford: The Arcade Game", I'm wondering if this wasn't a case of a simultaneous home/arcade release for the sake of cross-promotion.  Moby Games does list the DOS version as being released in 1987 (as opposed to 1988 for all of the other releases, including Amiga), but I'd take that with a grain of salt.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think this link/site has a somewhat commercial motive. Should it be removed? Whats your opinion about the website? DaSjieb 20:15, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section about the objects in the game has now been deleted twice with the reason "Wikipedia is not a game guide". Then the article was tagged about not having a "gameplay" section. This seems to be contradictory - you can't remove material and ask it to be added at the same time. I have written a short basic gameplay section that doesn't list all the objects in detail.
Also, in the current state, over half of the article's length is a list of various versions of the game that were released. It takes up more of the content than the rest of the article put together. JIP | Talk 16:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
