ColecoVision


Super Cassette Vision


PC-88 / FM-7 look the same.


Sharp X1


NES. A bit different, including a world map

Game Boy. As with NES, includes 'worlds' now.


Not pictured
- relatively new releases for Atari 2600 / Intellivision which were made afaik with First Star's approval.
- lots of unofficial conversions (Spectrum to Enterprise etc.), clones
- Atari ST. Alleged to exist by some sites, but after looking around I suspect it might be just a myth because of an existing homebrew version or maybe announcement.
- PC-98 (no dump), Hitachi S1 (no driver, not that I know of any preserved software).

there's the newer arcade version too, although I guess it's more like a sequel as the levels are different.

Yeah, I remembered that one vaguely as being too different to really count as a version of the original, so didn't want to bother to start it up again. Boulder Dash EX on the GBA is supposedly also containing a classic mode, which from what I've read is just an emulated early computer version though.

How about Star Blazer / Sky Blazer (one of my classic favorites)

Apple 2:



Atari 800 (from an .atr file):



MSX1 (running under cf1200 driver):



VIC-20:

Neat! I had no idea Star Blazer existed on anything other than the Apple II.

Why do you think the PC-98 version exists? http://www.rhod.fr/boulderdash.html -- nothing here, nor I can find any mentions of it with Google.

It's mentioned here, but I was really going by the entry in the Tokugawa database, which includes release date and available format editions. Put it's for me in the *likely exists* category.

Dung Beetles on the Apple 2:
(not in the softlist)
./mame64 apple2e -flop1 "../Dung Beetles (1982)(Datasoft).dsk"
./mame64 apple2e -flop1 "../Dung Beetles (1982)(Datasoft).zip/Dung Beetles (1982)(Datasoft).dsk"





Magneto Bugs on Atari 800:
(not in the softlist)
./mame64 a800 -flop1 "../Magneto_Bugs_Gentry_Software.zip/Magneto Bugs _ Gentry Software.atr"





Mega Bug on Coco2:
./mame64 coco2 -cart megabug

Neat! I knew about Mega-Bug, but not Magneto Bugs. Does it have the WEE GOTCHA! speech?

Let's do Miner 2049er:

Apple 2:
./mame64 apple2e -flop1 minr2049



ColecoVision:
./mame64 coleco -cart mine2049



C64:
./mame64 c64 -cart mine2049
(if you want to use the joystick, put a joy in joy1 in the slot devices)
./mame64 c64 -cart mine2049 -joy1 joy


Gameboy:
./mame64 gameboy -cart mine2049




pc (with composite color)

This one was a bit tricky, I found a zip file on the net with some miner 2049er files, but needed to get it into a disk image, so I made a 360k image with ubuntu with
mkfs.msdos -C test360.dsk 360
for a 360K 5.25 disk.
I mounted that with sudo mount test360.dsk mymountpoint -o loop,rw
and copied the files into it, unmounted then
booted with a dos floppy image in -flop1 and -flop2 test360.dsk.

./mame64 pc -flop1 pcdos2 -flop2 test360.dsk

After booting into dos, switch to the b: drive "b:" and "dir"
