'Diamond' collecting game that leaves black path [Diamond]

Post by melsie9 »

I am very sure the game is called plain Diamond but cannot find a single mention or picture anywhere on internet. played it in late 90's and my siblings remember it too. you need to collect so many diamonds before you can exit. there is also white diamond shape baddies that try kill you and it can only move on the black path that is created when you move. the levels are quite big maps with side scrolling, at the start on levels it is still green grass. there are grey walls and if you walk under a rock it will fall and you can kill the baddie then they turn into a normal diamond. at the bottom of screen it also tells you how many tries it has taken you to finally complete a level. one of the levels is called CHAOS. there are also little coloured diamonds as keys to collect and open new parts of the level. we really loved this game and cant believe there is no finding it anywhere. i do recall a '250 best arcade games' CD that it may have been from but cant be sure.
Does anyone else remember this???

In 2009 I was looking for a Boulderdash clone. That was the most helpful reply in the thread, though I haven't found the game yet.
Found my game. Thanks.

That also sounds a bit like Dig Dug or Digger. Maybe you'd have some luck looking for clones of those?
