Apple II Game: Lode Runner (1983 Brøderbund Software) Longplay
A strategy, puzzle platform game where the object is to collect all the gold in a level then get to the exit at the top of the level. The challenge lies in the level design and various enemies spread throughout. The only way to combat the enemy is to dig holes in the ground for them to fall into and get temporarily trapped, there was no jumping. The levels contain only brick ground, ladders and overhead level and enemies are designed to test a player mentally and physically, with problem solving and quick reactions needed to clear the more dastardly levels. This time all 150 levels are shown. Sadly, this game does not seem to have an ending at all. After all 150 levels are beaten, level 151 repeats level 1 and all the way to level 150 endlessly so I quit afterwards. This game was also ported to other platforms like MSX, PC88, DOS, Arcade, ZX Spectrum, NES, and others.
