I would like to thank Desert Tripper (aka The Nut Cracker) for providing the basis for the modified parameters Lode Runner. Like him, I got sick of all the stupid keys used to control the game as well as the "Tunnel Effect".

I managed to locate the routines for the Tunnel Effect and eliminated the Closing Tunnel. Because the screen setups are directly linked to the Opening Tunnel, it could not be changed. (At least I didn't feel like putting the time into it!!)

I added two other features which allow the player to change the number of starting men for each game, and also a modifier to allow the player to speed up the game (ie. reduce delay loops between screen redraws.) to make the game a little more challenging.

If you have any other ideas or questions, please let me know

Thanks,
ACE Mechanic

Again, special thanks to The Nut Cracker (now, Desert Tripper)
