WIP:

- 0.123u1: Atari Ace fixed fatal error in Boulder Dash (Max-A-Flex).

- 0.108u5: Aaron Giles added new output utilities: output_set_led_value(), output_set_digit_value() and output_set_lamp_value(), which are used to set a generic indexed data type. Changed the Max-A-Flex driver to use output_set_digit_value() for their digits. This fixed the digits in Boulder Dash (Max-A-Flex).

- 2nd April 2005: 3D ARCADE - New 3D cabinet model for Boulder Dash from Btribble.

- 0.88u4: Mariusz Wojcieszek added 'Boulder Dash (Max-A-Flex)' (Exidy / First Star Software 1984).

- 8th November 2004: Mariusz Wojcieszek - Wrote a driver for the Max-A-Flex system (Atari 600XL). Four titles have appeared on this platform officially only.

LEVELS: 80 (5 x 16 - endless)
