Splatch! – Amstrad CPC Boulder Dash clone gets a Commodore 64 conversion by Vector5 Games

Thanks to Saberman contacting us just recently, we’ve been told that Vector5 Games, who was behind Space Station 23, Laserscape, Jump Out, and our personal favorite Santa’s Workout. Has released the Boulder Dash clone of ‘Splatch!’ for the Commodore 64! A game that was originally released as a type-in program in the Amstrad Computer User magazine back in 1985 by Robosoft. To coincide with this news, we’ve got some more information about the game, as well as some footage provided below.

And here’s the info! “You are a little, white rabbit; lost and hungry. You are in a garden and can smell carrots; once you’ve eaten one you want more and more. The problem is that the acorns will fall on your head and the squirrels and butterflies will attack you if you don’t dodge them in time. Collect all the carrots before time runs out or you will starve”. The game is tested on real hardware, TheC64, and the VICE emulator. The game will run in PAL and NTSC modes, but it’s not optimized for NTSC.
