| I was just transfering again the rest of my disks to pc as I found again my original of the Boulder Dash Construction Kit with cover. So I checked CSDB and did look at all Construction Kit versions which are uploaded here. Nowhere were the Docs included and some of the Versions are more worse than the one I've done here just for fun. Unfortunately it is not really onefiled but nearly, as the Documentation is a single file (maybe more handy?) which took the most time to do. However, there is one thing I like to mention: In the Game Loader where you can load your own created caves you have to type and check each of the char for the filename if the program is accepting what you've typed. This glitch is on the original, too. So quite easy to type in something wrong. Now go, get this version, enjoy it or scratch it again. Have Phun. |
