Its Retro Arcade time on Addicting Flash Arcade Games, Old Skool Sunday is back with an old game from the glorious days of the Commodore 64. Its a re-work of Boulderdash called Rock Rush Classic! This game is actually bloody difficult so should keep you so busy, and incredibly frustrated that you'll be glad to be back at work tomorrow in order to relax again.
We absolutely loved this version, it keeps the original 8 bit charm, even has a mock up of a C64 loading screen. Interestingly though it has a very Amiga sounding background track which will help soothe and chill you out when you get flatterned by boulders.
There is a level skip which is a good thing because we got stuck on Level 1. Yes I know, how embarrassing! But the further levels are not quite so difficult, and once you complete a level it remembers, so you can always come back and carry on from where you left off.
Ok if you're 13 years of age you might not remember the boulderdash series. So here we go. You are digging through a cave and you need to find diamonds and get to the exit. There are some heavy boulders which can either help or hindrance you. If they fall on your head, it hurts a bit, so don't let that happen. Diamonds also hurt if they fall on you, but are fabulous to collect. Infact you need to collect a certain amount in order to get through the exit. Be aware of strange blue square things. Some come after you, some continue in a pattern. Don't stand next to them, they are kamikaze suicidal maniacs and will explode taking you with them. The blobby things however may also provide you with assistance as their explosions knock out walls which you may need to get through. So let them follow you and let a rock drop on them for laughs.
If you are stuck, the game has built in links to walkthroughs, which are hosted on another pesky gaming site. (You make sure you come back here to the best one!!)
Some levels have ever expanding gooey stuff. The trick is to trap the gooey stuff so it cant expand any more. Then all the goo will turn into diamonds! I had some goo once, and no matter how much I tried to compress it, it just didn't turn into diamonds and make me rich.
What are you waiting for? Don't hang around, this game has a time limit too! So get yourself over to AddictingFlashArcadeGames.com and play Rock Rush 2 NOW!!!
