Retro game

We have been given a task to choose a retro game; and analyse it then to  review it looking at the various mechanics of the game. The game has to have been released before 1985; the game I am looking into choosing is a game called "Boulder Dash".
"Boulder Dash" was released in 1984; the game is about a character called "Rockford" who's a archaeologist; The aim of the game is to help Rockford dig through the levels collecting gems and diamonds within a time limit; whilst avoiding dangerous creatures and various hazards like rocks falling on top of him or being trapped by a avalanche.
I feel its very simple game with great mechanics and will be looking forward to looking more deeply into the game; as its been a game  that's had various remakes for the past 26years.
