| II. Introduction |
+*****************************************************************************+
Boulder Dash Ex is a moderately difficult puzzle game for the Game Boy Advance.
With seventy-five new stages and the classic Boulder Dash game included, this
game can keep you busy for a while. One of the minor charms of the game is the
ability to collect various cards throughout the game. The cards will be
awarded after a stage that in which you have collected all of the jewels.
The cards feature the items, monsters, and people that are in the game. This
index includes all forty-one cards that are available in Boulder Dash Ex.

Mike Octabitus was nice enough to send me the information for card forty-one,
Dark King. Thanks a lot, Mike! Consequently, a "Thanks" section has also been
created.
