VBS Boulderdash is a very good try to make an online game that nevertheless gives you an idea about what Boulder Dash was like on the Commodore 64. The graphics and sounds are almost similar to those from the C64 version. You can choose to play levels from Boulder Dash, Rockford's Riot (Boulder Dash II), Boulder Dash III and levels by Alan Bond, the creator of this game, himself. There is even a complete Cave Editor included! If you rather play online than offline games, as some people do, you should certainly give this a try!

Indeed a nice approximation of the real C64 Boulder Dash. In particular I like the modified animation of Rockford, when he walks upwards and downwards.

One thing I miss in this clone is smooth scrolling.

Here it runs in IE, but not in Firefox.
