Bluppo
DOS - 1997
Description of Bluppo
Bluppo is a great clone of Boulderdash that offers a lot more features than the First Star classic, including new ideas, excellent graphics and sounds, 160 large and tricky levels, a lot of colorful characters, and more.
The goal of the game is to collect certain number of fish in order to exit to another level. In the meantime, you must avoid falling boulders and nasty sturgeon. And if that?s not bad enough, you also must conserve oxygen. The scrolling playfield features great graphics and music and supports two players simultaneously. The early levels are easy, but the game becomes difficult quite quickly, and soon you will be scrambling to plot the quickest way to the exit before your oxygen runs out. With hundreds of levels, attractive VGA graphics, and a challenging yet addictive gameplay with numerous devious levels, Bluppo is no doubt one of the best Boulderdash clones I have ever come across. If you like Boulderdash and similar games, you will definitely enjoy this rare shareware underdog. Two thumbs up!

Game runs somewhat choppy in DOSBox no matter what, but using dynamic core helps to some extant. cycles=max gives the best results, I've tried to play around with different fixed settings but haven't found the sweet spot. Using DOSBOx-X, I've seen that setting cycles to around 100000 or more is slightly better than max, but I'm not sure if all versions of DOSBox allow fixed cycles to go that high.
Decent enough shareware title, nice music, good graphics, obviously a Boulder Dash clone, but a good one.
