It was one of my favourite games on our family's Acorn Archimedes in the early 1990s. I could play the first couple of screens on each of the ~40 themed level sets at age 7-8 or so, and sometimes the third screen, but then they became too difficult. I found it again at age 20 or so, and I could complete some of the level sets (8 screens in each), and I've gone back to it every 5 years or so, but there are still some puzzles I haven't solved.
Here's an early map (Finale screen B) from Repton 3 showing the complexity of the puzzles: https://www.reptonresourcepage.co.uk/GetMap.php?level=2&game... (via https://www.reptonresourcepage.co.uk/ )
A key difference with Boulderdash is in Repton, the diamonds don't fall if they're unsupported.
Original publisher in the 80s was 'Superior Software', I'd be interested to know if this is the same people 40 years later
edit: yes its the same people!
