Refreshed version of the classic logic-arcade game, which entertained the owners of the first personal computers. In the game we play the role of a hero collecting jewels in underground labyrinths. The rework contains much better graphics and lots of levels - some of them are completely new creations.
Boulder Dash’s tricky puzzle and dexterity-based gameplay made its debut in the early 80s and continues to entertain its enormous fan base and new players.
