Boulder Dash®-PocketPC Extreme™ is the first official Boulder Dash® sequel ever developed for PDAs. The heart pumping, state of the art action-puzzle game introduces players to Rocky™ and Crystal™ (the children of the star of the original game: Rockford™) on their journey through five new exciting worlds as they search for treasure. Retailing for US$19.95, the game includes 20 Tutorial levels as well as 100 Game levels spread across five different graphic worlds of twenty levels each. Beautiful hand-drawn graphics, intense soundtracks and mind boggling level solutions feature remote controlled gates toggled by switches; 90° rotation of the screen; growing amoebas and deadly lava; tricky doors and keys. Tools and inventory are also introduced, providing players with the ability to use detonators and dynamite; timed bombs; kick objects and escape from tight spots with their boulder-smashing hammers as they play in either portrait or landscape mode.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the initial release of Boulder Dash® with millions of units having been sold in the series. Versions of Boulder Dash® have been released into the coin-operated arcades four times and Boulder Dash®-M.E.™, is currently ranked #1 for J2ME, BREW and mophun handsets in numerous territories throughout the world. Boulder Dash®-Treasure Pleasure™ is currently available online or as a downloable game for PCs on major portals worldwide.
