He must dig through caves to collect diamonds while avoiding various types of dangerous creatures and obstacles such as falling rocks. He is in constant danger of being crushed or trapped by an avalanche or killed by an underground explosion. Strategy and planning are the keys to mastering Boulder Dash. Once enough jewels have been collected, the door to the mysterious escape tunnel is revealed and Rockford can explore another cave.

dammit i was hyped for at least 1 good game. i refuse to support square final fantasy 4 after years is a 9 part game just like the i phone one with eatch part at 8 $ and damn nintendo not giving swords and soldiers elbert_b_23

Is FFIV after years really going to be in 9 parts?? I never heard that and if it's true then I may not buy it cuz I'm not spending that kind of jack.

[QUOTE="nini200"]Not really. >__> I didn't play FF4, so this sequel doesn't do anything for me.

nini200

so wait, does the after years happen in episodes or is that it altogether?

I need to play FFIV before playing the After Years. Hopefully I'll play it this summer.

hmm. a mobile phone is a mobile phone to me. i just have one that works and that's fine. i don't see the need in constantly upgrading.just_nonplussed

I know what you mean but my phone is old and about to give out so I need to upgrade to a phone that I won't have to change for a while. I've currently been downgraded to a Nokia 3220. It's old but it works, for now but it's about to give out soon.

I was surprised they didn't release FF1 this week with the after years, since it is announced for VC, but it's cool, I've been looking forward to FF4-2 for a while now.

Once they release all the episodes of FF:IV 2 I'll pay attention. I don't really like the fact they made it episodic in nature... and refuse to buy it until someone can review the whole deal and help me decide if it is worth it. I theory the game is 9 episodes long, 800 for the first 300 for the rest so 3200 points right? raahsnavj

sod that. i thought it was one game. i'm not paying for 9 seperate episodes unless it's something very substantial. but isn't this a mobile phone port anyway? it was originally released on phones in japan.

[QUOTE="nini200"][QUOTE="nintendofreak_2"] Me neither. I'm not a major FF fan. But I won't say that it's not a good week simply because a game that I want wasn't on the list. [QUOTE="just_nonplussed"] bleh. you americans. hopefully europe will get 'the after years' next week. just_nonplussed
