Martian Mines is a re-creation of one of the first games I ever played as a child on the good old Commodore64 – “Boulder Dash”. I even managed to appropriate the graphics from the original and incorporated some of the level design. The main reason I did this was to show my siblings and friends of an iconic game from our childhood – it was very well received!
I did add my own personal touches with the tutorial levels and the Star Trek nod, and of course coded the whole thing.
