''Boulder Dash'' was one of the more popular action-puzzle games of the 8-bit era. First released for [[Atari 8 Bit Computers]] in 1984 and [[Multi Platform|endlessly ported]], including to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Virtual Console]]. In it, the hero Rockford must explore a series of caves/levels, collect a certain quota of diamonds, and reach the exit without dying. Depending on how a level is designed, it could be evocative of [[Block Puzzle|Block Puzzles]] like [[Sokoban]] or a hectic arcade game similar to [[Dig Dug]], minus the player's capacity to directly defend himself.
