Couldn't find boulderdash in pcgameworld. Though, I found a demo of
"Greenface" which is rather similar. Again, it brought back the memories of
feelings of frustration and despair I had trying to solve the logistical
problems of getting though a particular level. I played Boulderdash back at
the end of the 1980s, start of the 1990s. Our family had a 1982-1984
Toshiba computer and the game was basically a tape, an MSX tape, if I recall
correctly.
The game could be brutally addictive and a time-killer.
