I looked at Emerald Mine in the store, but decided not to buy it. It has one
totally unacceptable feature: not only is it heavily copy protected, but it
continually *writes* to your irreplacable copy-protected master disk.

If you want to play Boulder Dash on the Amiga, the best bet currently is
"Rockford". It's done by the same people who did the original Boulder Dash,
but apparently they had to change the style somewhat (I guess they didn't
copyright the name, or the publisher kept the rights to it). It's pretty
good, though way harder than the original. I have yet to get through the
second level in any of the "worlds".

Maybe I'll have to write my own...
