Thanks John for another game!
Ryan would be happy I think if he knew this was released some 3 years after his first dev tests. BTW you could delete the app page he created back then.

I'd have based this on Ryan's work, but his version is no longer available. So I just did a quick from-scratch one using PAL.

I swapped it in for the frontpage and app page on site.

Some years ago, I asked the developers to make the Windows port portable, but they have always stuck to APPDATA.

It should be noted that to play Sokoban/Emerald Mine, etc, you need to select "Level Set" then "parent directory" then "Classic Original Games." Also, the app plays nice with Alt+Enter (for full screen on Windows systems).

Rocks' is much more than a Dig Dug clone. There are tons more levels at the Artsoft web site (http://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/levels.html), or you can build your own.

I have spent a lot of hours on the Rocks' version of Sokoban - love it!

I have downloaded a level pack and I have tried putting into the 'levels' folder and launching up the app. There was more than ONE 'levels' folder, so I had to try them all. But this still did not work. Any suggestions?
