Bugs in Atari BD version

Post by Arno »

The website digitpress.com has released a page about the bugs in Boulder Dash, the original Atari version:

The author has even made videos of some of these bugs:

And finally, some new videos of the BD1 caves are released on the same youtube channel.

BUG: If you enter the escape door just as the timer runs out, the timer will rollover and start counting down from 999 (picture #5). When the timer runs down to zero, you’ll get the message “OUT OF TIME” (picture #6), but if you press the fire button, you’ll continue to the next cave.
This happen only in this Cave/Intermission or in all? BTW: When you got "out of time" in Intermisson after pressing "fire" you always reach the next level. :)
