| Boulder Dash | First Star Software | 1984 | [4]*** [15]*** [48]*** [48]*** [48]***Also released as part of the "Super Boulder Dash" compilation, which included the original "Boulder Dash" and its sequel "Boulder Dash II: Rockford's Revenge".***Originally released in 1984, Boulder Dash is one of the big computer-game classics. It is one of the very few computer games ever to be ported from home computers to arcades, not the other way around. The hero of the game is the brave prospector Rockford. He must dig through caves to collect diamonds while avoiding various types of dangerous creatures and obstacles such as falling rocks. He is in constant danger of being crushed or trapped by an avalanche or killed by an underground explosion. Strategy and planning are the keys to mastering Boulder Dash. Once enough jewels have been collected, the door to the mysterious escape tunnel is revealed and Rockford can explore another cave. | labelimagesubject |

| Boulder Dash Construction Kit | First Star Software | 1986 | 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... Designed by FIRST STAR SOFTWARE. INC.*** [16]*** [2]*** [62]*** [4]*** [57]*** [52]*** [33]***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. | labelimagesubject |

| Bone Cruncher | Superior Software | 1987 | In 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.*** [77]*** [17]*** [2]*** [4]*** [33]*** [57]*** [1] | labelimagesubject |
| Repton 3 | Superior Software | 1987 | Repton 3 involves retrieving treasure from cleverly constructed traps of falling rocks whilst avoiding the monsters and spirits. Repton is a game requiring dexterity, and logical thinking to solve its puzzles over 24 levels. This second sequel in the Repton franchise includes both a sprite editor and level editor so that players can design and share their own levels with each other. Other improvements over the previous Repton titles include larger levels, creeping poisonous fungus which grows at an alarming rate, time bombs and time capsules (for puzzles in the fourth dimension!).
