Lode runner pc download

Lode Runner, brought to us by Natsume, dates way back to the '80s and has graced plenty of computer and console systems since, Interestingly enough, this new PlayStation version resembles a fairly recent remake called "Lode Runner: The Legend Returns," a game that appeared on the PC a few years back. The game puts players in control of an adventurous chap named Jake Peril who tries his darnedest to take back the gold that the keepers of the underground stole from above.

But to do so, he must avoid dozens of traps, deadly gaping holes and, of course, those wacky monks. But Jake is able to set some traps of his own and use various items like the jackhammer to get away from the hooded evil-doers. The graphics look totally old-school, but that's alright-this game kind of has that feel.

The thing to remember is that Lode Runner is a puzzle game at its core. Like many puzzle games, Lode Runner has well over 50 levels to make your way through set up like Mario with sets of levels inside "worlds". And as you may have guessed, the further along you get. The first level Is nothing more than a quick gathering of some coin, but the next introduces monks, and then more monks, and then hordes 0' monks, etc.

Toward the end of the game, most mortal gamers want to pull their hair out from how hectic it is. But for puzzle games, this is a good thing. Search icon An illustration of a magnifying glass.

How I loved this game Unfortunately Mr. Doug Smith passed away in and I never had the chance to thank him. Mr Vampire 0 point Commodore 64 version. Played this for hours while pretending I didn't have any homework due the next day. Beetle 0 point. Space Man 0 point.

I just found the scanned DOS version manual on replacementdocs. To redefine keys: when a game is playing push Esc, K, then follow the promps at the bottom of the screen. Hint: the game see the arrow keys as number keys - remember this game is old, and the cursor keys didn't used to be separate on the original IBM PC, they were on the numeric keypad as 4, 8, 6, and 2.

So, don't be alarmed if you try to define the cursor keys and they don't seem to register. Oh no! But fear not, for you a brave hero-type -again are here to save the day. Collect each gem from each of the levels to proceed hmm, sounds familiar. On all but the first few levels, an annoyance manifests in the form of Little Red Jelly-Babies - your would-be captors. A close and I do mean close examination of the screen grabs and youll get the idea.

These monks are not, fortunately for you, all too bright. Climb up Theres not much A. The monks can be dealt with in a manner of ways - you start with a blaster which can blast holes in the floor monks fall down these holes but do not die and can then progress on to snares, bombs and many other tasty bits ofwarfare, too.
