Hi All!
My dad had a Microbee back when I was a kid, and we actually really enjoyed playing games on it. One that really stuck in my mind was an old Boulder Dash clone, which I can't remember the name of.
I haven't been able to find any screenshots of it, all I really remember is the diamonds/emeralds, and being chased by a kind of star-like object when the timer ran out. After doing some research I'm guessing it was possibly a clone of Emerald Mine for the Atari, but seeing as our Microbee was using a monochrome monitor it still doesn't quite look right. So I really just don't know at this point.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it will settle a question I've been trying to figure out since I remembered playing it all those years ago
