"Boulder Dash (First Star Software, 1984) is NP-hard. The game is similar to Sokoban, but with gravity. The avatar may push single boulders horizontally, excavate some special tiles, and must collect diamonds and avoid monsters. Gravity affects boulders and diamonds, but not the avatar or the monsters. A proof that “pushing blocks in gravity” is NP-hard is given in [5], based on a rather involved reduction scheme and several gadgets that may be adapted to work with the slightly different “physics” of Boulder Dash." https://web.archive.org/web/20160812084752/http://giovanniviglietta.com/papers/gaming.pdf

While the Boulder Dash series hasn't enjoyed high profile video game resurrections like Space Invaders or Pac-Man, it's received a few releases this millenium, including the odd Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure for PC, the forgettable Boulder Dash: Rocks! for DS/PSP, and most recently a remake of the original game with new graphics/features/etc. on iPhone. http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2010/02/28-week/

Boulder Dash II „Rockford's Revenge“ (1985)[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
2. Teil von First Star für Commodore 64/128, IBM PC, Apple 8-bit and Atari 8-bit; Beyond (CPC) und Zoomsoft (MSX and Spectrum, with the subtitle „Rockford's Riot“ http://www.bd-fans.com/#History
C64 Rockford's Riot , 16 neue Höhlen, Combo: "Boulder Dash" auf Rückseite der Kassette https://archive.org/stream/Happy.Computer.N25.1985.11-Cartman#page/n167/mode/2up
"First Star Software started to publish sequels to the original Boulder Dash. They developed Boulder Dash II: Rockford's Revenge for Commodore 64/128, IBM PC, Apple 8-bit and Atari 8-bit platforms. Electronic Arts published these versions and released Boulder Dash I and II as Super Boulder Dash in 1986. The game was licensed by Beyond (Amstrad CPC) and Zoomsoft (MSX and Spectrum, with the subtitle Rockford's Riot)." http://www.bd-fans.com/
"Boulder Dash II (1985) appeared with the BD2 Engine. Known errors were corrected and two new elements were added: slime and slippery walls. In contrast with the BD1 Engine, the Amoeba does not stop when a Boulder is thrown into the Magic Wall and this is also coherent with the fact that the peculiar Magic Wall timing is dispensed with."http://www.bd-fans.com/
Zusammen mit dem ersten Teil als Super Boulder Dash im Jahre 1986 von Electronic Arts veröffentlicht.[15]

Boulder Dash III (1986)[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
"After that, a Swedish company called American Action AB developed and published Professional Boulder Dash III for Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit, Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC in 1996. This game was very similar to Boulder Dash II and had a new set of levels and different graphics (e.g. Rockford in a spacesuit!)."http://www.bd-fans.com/
"The third part of the series was published in 1986. It remains obscure why this had the BD1 Engine again. Besides the uglier graphics, there were also many errors in it, which made it impossible to solve the levels four and five. Many objects have wrongly made graphics and the Monoliths (the name for 'Amoebas' in this game) are not animated in most levels."http://www.bd-fans.com/
Boulder Dash Construction Kit (1987)[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
"Then came the Boulder Dash Contruction Kit™ which was the first game in the Boulder Dash serie which came with a level editor. First Star Software developed versions of this game for the Amiga, Apple 8-bit, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore 64/128 and IBM PC (MS-DOS). The Boulder Dash Contruction Kit was published by Epyx in 1986 (UK) and 1987 (USA) and to Zoomsoft. Between 1986 and 1987, Zoomsoft released European versions for the Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. "http://www.bd-fans.com/
"The first tool producer was First Star Software, which released the famous Boulder Dash Construction Kit in 1986. For the first time it was now possible to make your own caves and partially because of this level creator became more and more popular in the following years. The players could design new caves in the way they wanted and that was a great thing for many of them."http://www.bd-fans.com/
Hier handelt es sich um die PLCK-Engine. Neu hinzu kamen versteckte Ausgänge und Voodoo-Rockfords. Zum ersten Mal sind Magische-Wand- und Amöbezeit getrennt einstellbar. Die fünf Level gibt es nicht mehr, da das Höhlenformat sich geändert hat. Dafür sind in dieser Version 48 Höhlen mit beliebigem Inhalt möglich. Die Möglichkeit, seine eigenen Spiele zu bauen, ist jedoch mit Mängeln behaftet: Ein schwerer Fehler sorgt dafür, dass das Spiel oft beim Höhlenaufbau abstürzt. 15 Höhlen sind als Boulder Dash 4 mit auf dem Datenträger enthalten.

Überleitung zum nächsten Abschnitt:
Boulder Dash has received almost as many official sequels as it has clones... https://books.google.de/books?id=olpPoAswgHoC&pg=PT184&lpg=PT184&focus=viewport&dq=%22boulder+dash%22&hl=de
viele Fortsetzungen https://books.google.de/books?id=3UDbCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA43&dq=%22boulder+dash%22&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwji4OTFmubMAhWDKsAKHa_MAhI4FBDoAQgaMAA
Nicht zuletzt durch Construction Kit sehr viele neue Level
Inoffizielle Nachfolger und Klone[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Inoffizielle[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Neben den offiziellen Nachfolgern existieren von First Star Software nicht autorisierte Fortsetzungen und Modifikationen. Dies umfaßt Neugestaltungen unter Zuhilfenahme der originalen Spielelemente und -figuren aber auch künstlerisch und teilweise spielmechanisch abgewandelte Versionen.
Noch vor der Veröffentlichung des offiziellen Construction Kits gab es erste Versionen, die von Fans erstellt wurden. Dr. Watson hatte sein eigenes Boulder Dash 4 gebaut und Don Pedro führte die Reihe mit den Teilen 5–11 weiter. No One und The Blockheads starteten währenddessen eigene Reihen. Alle diese Versionen verwenden die BD1-Engine. Des Weiteren existieren zwei Finalboulder-Spiele, wobei es sich um remixte Versionen dieser älteren Spiele handelt. Einen Editor gab es für diese Engine nicht, so dass alles direkt im Speicher mit einem primitiven Monitor gebaut werden musste.
Der Construction Set+ (1987) von The Softkillers ist ein Levelpacker, mit dem man eigenständige Spiele bauen kann. Die alte Absturzursache im Game-Modul wurde jedoch nicht behoben. In diesem Editor kann man auch erstmals die Grafiken editieren und Schriftzeichensätze importieren. Das hierfür leicht modifizierte Game-Modul wird kurz als Soft-Engine bezeichnet.

"Emerald Mine is one of the most succesful clones of Boulder Dash. It was developed by Kingsoft and version 1 was published for the Amiga in 1987. It featured a level numbering like aa0, aa1, ..., ab0, ab1, ..., ak1 and while playing, the time, score and emerald values were displayed in a tiny window in the top-lefthand corner."http://www.bd-fans.com/index.html#History
"Emerald Mine offered many more features than the original Boulder Dash did." http://www.bd-fans.com/index.html#History
"Supaplex is one of the best and most original Boulderdash clones ever made. The game was originally designed for the Amiga, but later there appeared versions for PC, Atari ST and Apple Macintosh (which was called 'Infotron' and which was an unofficial version). For the Apple Macintosh version, go to Dave Pecks website or download it from the Classic Supaplex page (which will appear within a short time on this website)."http://www.bd-fans.com/index.html#History
"Somewhere in, or before 1991 a small group of students (the authors) were in need of a project to program. They adored Boulder Dash on the Commodore 64 but they could not play it anymore. They decided to create a Boulderdash clone. After a lot of hard work, their game (then called 'Think') was completed. The name 'Think' was apparently already in use in another game somewhere, so to avoid legal problems they changed the name to 'Supaplex'."http://www.bd-fans.com/index.html#History
