Play Boulder Dash / Boulder Dash Part 2 Online

Boulder Dash is one of those arcade classics that looks simple at first—you're just digging tunnels and grabbing gems, right? Then a boulder crumbles loose and suddenly you're scrambling to avoid getting squashed. The caves get trickier fast, with fireflies buzzing around and walls collapsing if you dig the wrong spot.

Part 2 cranks it up with more hazards, like teleporters that fling you across the map when you least expect it. I still remember the first time I accidentally trapped myself between two falling rocks—pure panic, but in a fun way. It’s got that perfect mix of quick reflexes and planning ahead, where one wrong move can wreck your whole run.

If you like arcade puzzles that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a gem (pun very much intended).
