Diamond Caves II is a Boulder Dash (C64) and Emerald Mine (Amiga) type
game. The object is to collect the required amount of emeralds and go through your exit
door. Sounds easy right? Well add boulders, bugs, robots, eaters, amoeba, ships, bombs,
dynamite, mines, quicksand, walls, doors, keys, nuts, walls, and a time limit then it is
not always so easy but definitely exciting. This game requires thinking and quick
reflexes. If you get stuck on a level though most of the time the replay option will show
you how to do it. You can play one or two players.
You do things like drop rocks on monsters to create things like more emeralds, keys,
special blocks, and sometimes more monsters you never know. Dropping a rock on a nut will
turn it into a gem. You can use dynamite and bombs to blow things up like walls that are
in your way but they will also blow up gems. There are also things like blue walls and
when it is flashing you can drop a rock through it to turn it into an emerald or drop and
emerald through it to turn it into a diamond which is worth 3 emeralds. Yes there are
several things that can kill you but there is also things that can help you.
The graphics are excellent and the sounds are pretty good. It is easy to use and has
excellent help if you need some help getting started. The shareware version comes with 30
training levels and 20 advanced levels. There is also a partially functional level editor.
If you register it the level editor becomes fully functional which will allow you import
the additional levels from the home page. There isn't an additional charge for the
additional levels. At the present time there is 6 level groups available each containing
99 levels. This is the best and easiest to use Boulder Dash type game I have ever seen. I
am looking forward to many hours of enjoyment playing it with my 10-year-old son.
