Press Release Summary = Boulder Dash. Episode I: Dig The Past. Brand new with pro
animation and music.

Press Release Body = Boulder Dash. Episode I: Dig The Past is a completely reworked
version of the classical game that dates back to 1984. The new version created by ZX
Games features professional music and animation, 32 caves redesigned and copied from
the original "Boulder Dash I" and "Boulder Dash III" games, three difficulty levels
and other must-haves of a modern game.

Originally published in 1984 by First Star Software, Boulder Dash enjoyed huge
popularity and was one of the very few computer games to be ported from home
computers to arcade machines (contrary to the other way around).

The original game concept is preserved: you control the main character (named
Rockford) to dig through 32 dangerous caves, collect diamonds to score and try to
stay away from the enemies, which include fireflies, butterflies and the amoeba. You
need to have strong logics and decent reaction skills to compete.

Boulder Dash. Episode I: Dig The Past features Rockford smoothly animated as a mole
with a pick. There are four types of light background music the creation of which -
according to ZX Games - was inspired by the original game. Realistic sound effects,
caves redesigned with well-crafted graphics, professionally animated enemies - all
these contribute to a decent game that will let you feel retro and not be annoyed.

A shareware version of Boulder Dash. Episode I: Dig The Past by ZX Games is free to
download and play. You can try out the first five levels. The full version costs
decent $9.95. Discounts apply when purchasing several copies of one game or one copy
of several games.

There are no nag screens in the shareware version. Also, the game needs no emulators
to run.

Support team can be contacted 24/7 via email.
