I applied to join the online game, hope to play and chat and also make some levels for you all soon, i mailed ...

I played the first Dustin's BD for Gdash, i would like to thank the author for very good level design! I know it's an old game but it's fresh for me because i've never played it before. On one hand it feels very similar to the original games, on the other hand it has some nice creative twists here a...

Hi! Great to see a Boulder Dash speedrunner, various speed-run videos always awe me. Nice to meet you! I'm only a beginner at Boulder Dash, but i hope to get better, try my hand at harder levels with time and also maybe try designing my own levels.

Does anyone have any experience playing these C-64 games on the go on either a Nintendo 3DS or a Nintendo DS with custom firmware? If not, i'll look into it and i'l...

I also enjoy playing various puzzle games with action elements such as Supaplex, Igor: Time Machine, ...
