Here we have a sweet and smooth LodeRunner clone that should appeal to anyone with game nostaglia in mind. The story is about a golddigger who collects treasures by excavating numerous levels, while dodging the guardians who kill right on the spot. This game comes with good old graphics a la Apple II. What I like most about this clone is two-folded: Its precision - you cannot idle just a fraction of a second because the baddies move with smartness and exactness, and secondly I also particularly like the animated stickfigures - very cool!
The readme.txt file is in German, byt just use the arrow keys and n/m to dig. A final footnote: The legendary Lode Runner was created back in 1983 for Apple II. PC REQUIREMENTS: Videocard with OpenGL support, hardware acceleration.

The original game was created back in 1983, but this remake is very close to the original. You are a golddigger who collects treasures while dodging guards. To win the level you must collect all the treasures, then a ladder will appear that will let you climb up and onto the next level. Dodge the guards by digging holes to either your right or left side by using the n/ m keys, which they fall into for several seconds before climbing back out.

I loved the original lode runner, but can't find anywhere to download one that works. thought this might be good, but is it just me or is it just reeeaaally slow? neither can I get past the first level. not too fun

This game is cool, but it would be better if the instructions were in english.

Good game, a lot like the original. Only problem, I do not want to start at level 1 every time. In the original you could choose starting level. And in the original you got 1 extra life for every level completed if I remember correctly.

needs more speed (feels like lodewalker)and some simple sounds like the original would be gr8. pretty bloody good tho & brought bak memories & that "can't stop playin" feeling.
