Official description

Boulder Dash™Construction Kit™

More thrills for Boulder Dash™ fanatics. And now with the Construction Kit,™ you can create your own den of doom. Or, for a truly riveting experience, you can mine for diamonds in one of the pre-constructed games.

We've got to warn you. The place is gnarly. The amoebas are still here. The stray boulders. The nasty fireflies. The whole rotten mess. You could eat it bad on this one, pal.

They say it's the greatest underground movement in known times. Think of all those diamonds down there. But remember, what goes down does not necessarily come back up...

Editor note

The Boulder Dash Construction Kit features some fresh premade levels and an easy-to-use level editor. Officially the Construction Kit (or re-released as Boulder Dash IV on some platforms) was the last of the "classic" Boulder Dash games. Many mods and level packs that were created with the level editor can be found under lots of names.
