''Boulder Dash'' is one of the more popular action-puzzle games of the 8-bit era, and remains the archetypal DiggingGame. First released for UsefulNotes/Atari8BitComputers in 1984 and [[MultiPlatform endlessly ported]], including to the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] and UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole. 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}}s like ''VideoGame/{{Sokoban}}'' or a hectic arcade game similar to ''VideoGame/DigDug'', minus the player's capacity to directly defend himself.

* CameraScrew: While the camera tries to keep the player in-view, it's possible to outrun the camera if the speed is high enough. Even without outrunning the camera, you have to be dangerously close to the edge to cause it to pan.

* NothingIsScarier: The only music besides the title theme is heard [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic when the clock is ticking out]]. Imagine if the last ten seconds were represented by ascending notes, coming in the same number. As one Website/YouTube user commented on the above link (see "Ear Worm"):
--> ''The [[HellIsThatNoise "last seconds sound"]] is still making me pee my pants.''

* SequelDifficultySpike: It can be argued that the less-known "Boulder Dash 2", both for the UsefulNotes/Commodore64 and designed by Peter Liepa, [[MissionPackSequel requires the player to have played the first one before the second]], given that ''the very first level of the second'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Iv6WZ63XM requires the player to blast a hole in a wall by killing a dragonfly (the square-shaped enemy)]]. This game mechanic, alongside the Magic Wall that ''also'' shows up in the aforementioned first level, doesn't show up until halfway through the first game, and it's usually exclusive to advanced players [[ItMakesSenseInContext (trust us on this one)]].
** It ''is'' AllThereInTheManual, of course. Then again, not every player had access to the manual.
