Bone Cruncher Superior Software1987In Bone Cruncher the player takes the role of Bono, a dragon who makes a living by selling soap. His secret of success: he uses skeletons as ingredients. To restock, Bone has to collect more skeletons by traveling through a castle with 22 scrolling levels.

This game is a Boulder Dash variant. The levels are filled with dirt (which vanishes when Bono walks over it), monsters, and glooks (basically rocks with eyes). Monsters can only travel on ways without dirt and their touch is hazardous - some even eat up the skeletons. There are 25 skeletons to find in each level and specific steps have to worked out to reach them (e.g. using a glook to cut off a specific monster's path), giving the game a puzzle-solving character.***

Boulder Dash Construction Kit  Wicked Software (First Star Software)1989Boulder 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...

Designed by FIRST STAR SOFTWARE. INC.***

[52]***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.

Emerald Mine 3 Professional Kingsoft1990Very similar to its predecessor. Actually all the levels were contributed by users, so Emerald Mine 3 is more like a level-disk for Emerald Mine / Emerald Mine II. Kingsoft not even bothered to make a new title screen. labelimageminimize
