About this game

Boulder Dash III is the third entry in the series, featuring futuristic MetalGrafik visuals with Rockford in a spacesuit. Across 16 new scenarios, he digs through caves to collect enough diamonds to open a portal to the next stage.

The caves contain falling boulders, deadly monsters, and spreading green slime that blocks pathways. Monsters can be crushed with boulders, sometimes releasing diamonds, while puzzle elements include walls that transform falling boulders into diamonds. Each level also has a time limit.
