Men of a certain age can rejoice today at news that classic home-console-to-arcade-puzzler Boulder Dash is heading to PSP and DS later this year, courtesy of 10Tacle Studios and First Star Software.
Boulder Dash-Rocks! (see what they did!) is due to drop on a handheld near you later this year.
For those of you of a certain age who might not remember (ie the young) Boulder Dash, was originally released in 1984 on the Apple II, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Atari 400/800 home computers, and soon followed on NES, Acorn Electron, PC, Amstrad CPC, and loads of other now-dead gaming platforms (RIP dead computers!).
Players play the character of plucky prospector 'Rockford', digging through caves collecting gems and diamonds, avoiding baddies while dodging explosions, traps and falling rocks.
Boulder Dash- Rocks! is going to stay pretty true to the original and will feature five modes of play (with the requisite multiplayer mode of course) with one mode being exclusive to each platform.

I can't wait! 8~), I used to play this all the time on my Acron Electron. It's especially good news to hear that they are going to keep it close to the original design and not mess around with it like they have with Bomberman.
