Boulder Dash Construction Kit represents the fourth entry in the Boulder Dash franchise. Created by First Star Software and distributed by Epyx in 1986, its initial release targeted the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit computers. Later adaptations broadened availability to platforms such as the Apple II, Atari ST, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, and MS-DOS. The version for the Spectrum was eventually reissued under the title Boulder Dash IV: The Game, featuring additional stages and incorporating a level editor, which allowed for increased player creativity and extended gameplay.

Reception

Rick Teverbaugh, writing for Antic, recommended the Atari ST edition mainly to enthusiasts looking for new challenges. Steve Panak commended the Atari 8-bit variant for its straightforward goals, dynamic pace, and impressive visuals, noting its compelling gameplay. Rhett Anderson from Compute! observed that while novices might find it difficult initially, more seasoned gamers would value its complexity; he advised beginners to start by creating simpler custom levels. David Langendoen of Family Computing viewed this installment as a step forward compared to its predecessors. Ervin Bobo at Compute!'s Gazette highlighted the game's energetic and rapid-action experience.
