Special notes for CAVEMAPS:
1) These maps have already been converted for you from the C-64 Boulderdash format to the IBM PC Boulderoid format.
2) If you have maps of your own and you wish to use the CAVTOMAP.EXE that is included with Boulderoid (BOULD112.ZIP) don’t waste your time making out the text file option that adds a name to the cave and credits the author. You can do the same thing in Boulderoid’s map editor and save your self some needless work!
3) The cavemaps are divided into subdirectories as to authorship: Bradbury – That is I (or is it me!?) Anon – Numerous caves acquired from old C-64 public domain disks Epyx – Caves that were included in the Boulderdash Construction Kit AWB – Caves attributed to one Arthur William Brecker, whom I have not seen in numerous years!
4) All included caves were designed in pre-Boulderoid days and they do not have the enhancements that Boulderoid gives with new enemies and/or obstacles.
5) You will notice that some cavemaps have a dash in the standard DOS eight letter name taking the position at the end of the name; this is to mark these maps as intermissions instead of caves. [i.e. AUTOBAN-.MAP or DILLY-.MAP or DALLY-.MAP]
6) My computer is not a Pentium powered one but it is a hot 486dx/80 and when I set up the cave delays I considered the speed of my computer and the slowness of my reflexes- I am 45 years old and I am not lightning quick as I was when I first played Boulderdash! I read in one mag that computer games are being played by those in their seventies! I guess I still have some life left! [Am I living in the Cheat Mode?]
7) Copy the files into the \maps subdirectory of your Boulderoid game to use them.
8) I have included some extra sample games designed for people with slower reflexes and less stringent life styles. Try DANA.GAM which is custom made for my secretary who is ten years my junior and BRADBURY.GAM which is made from my caves that I designed when I was her age and also for her to play! When is Dana going to type my invoices!?
Have fun! I am and I will keep playing till my seventies also! Contributed by Robert Scott Bradbury aka The Over The Hill Gamer

Another thing that really makes Boulderoid [Cave Maps] enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Boulderoid [Cave Maps]. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
