The Boulder Dash Deluxe video game
The year is 1984 and no one has heard of a couple of Italian plumbers who eat magic mushrooms and go down the sewers in an attempt to save a damsel in distress. People, however, played a boulder-based 2D maze puzzle on their brand new Atari system with its impressive 8-bit graphics.
Created by two Canadian developers, Peter Liepa and Chris Gray, Boulder Dash took the world by storm by overcoming the excitement and speed of its predecessor Dig Dug and dazzled with its colorful animations for the time.

It is a time capsule that will take you back to an 8-bit world and catapult you forward to present, allowing you to feel the limits of the game compared to the vast expanses of development tools we have today to make these amazing products that can literally live on. for decades.
As a teenager who flew to Japan with barely enough money to return, only to see the video game mecca at the time, I never thought I'd be able to make video games as a career but also be a part of Peter The Incredible Liepa's creation and franchise that lasted so long.
