Nope, I'm pretty sure that all the commercial releases of Bone Cruncher were either jewel case (Amiga and BBC/C64 disk versions) or plastic cassette cases (BBC/Electron and C64 tape versions).

As an aside, I always thought it was quite strange how Superior Software released an Amiga version of Bone Cruncher in 1988....but never released an Archimedes version, which they did for most of their back-catalogue BBC/Electron games in the late 80s IIRC. I have to wonder if poor sales of the obscure Amiga version (or sales of the game, in general, across formats) had anything to do with the game not seeing an Archimedes conversion!!

It's not a straight Boulder Dash clone like most people have probably pegged it to be, simply based on screenshots and reading mag reviews from back in the day (check out the HOL entry and have a read of what the game coder said in an interview about this!). Anyway, I reckon it's definitely worth giving the game a whirl!!!
