Yesterday I bought Boulder Dash XL for the Xbox Live Arcade. I also downloaded a Commodore 64 emulator and the Boulder Dash games for it. Atleast the three first.
I only played the Xbox version for a little while, will continue when I get back to my Xbox. My brother however played it. The Retro Mode that is. It's a 3D version of the classic we all know, and the maps in it are from the originals. From his reactions they may have picked the more frustrating ones.
As for the Arcade Mode, it's the same, with different characters and visual layout. Although some additional blocks like one way doors and some new monsters.
The Retro mode wins though in my opinion, although it may be too easy as Lives have been removed and you get to start from the start as many times as you want. Frustrating? No. Too easy? Yes.
A total remake of the first ones would be awesome. Have to look into it.
