Remember Lode Runner?

steveold · Sep 20, 2002

I'm thinking of getting the Saturn import, "Lode Runner." Anyone played the Saturn version, how is it?

Any comments/rants on Lode Runner (any platform) is appreciated.

I've only played it for PC a long time ago at my cousin's house. Awesome game. Very fun.

Ohh!! I'm a big fan of Lode Runner...I didn't even know a Saturn version existed! Can someone point me in the direction where I can research or buy a copy?

I have it on the Saturn. It's not all the great. I got it cause I loved the NES one, but this one doesn't have the same charm for me. It gets to be enourmously challenging. I remember getting stuck a few times, and then I don't know if there is a code or a way to start from any level you want. If not, you have to do all the levels over again after you get a game over.

It has a create a level thing that could be real good if you learned how to use it, though. Still, I'd play the NES one over this any day.

I used to play it quite a bit on the C-64 and later picked it up for the PS.

I still go back to it now and agian via C-64 emulation or Apple II emulation as well as the occasional PS game.

Great game ! truly a timeless classic !

Last time I checked, <a href="http://www.wolfgames.com" target="_blank">www.wolfgames.com</a> has a copy for 24 bucks. I heard wolfgames is a reliable place to buy from, but I cannot confirm that myself.

Hey dmhawkmoon, so there's no password or save option in the Saturn version? That sucks. Overall, would you recommend it?

EDIT: One more thing dmhawk. Which Lode Runner version on the Saturn do you have? There are two versions. A "Returns" and an "Extra." How is the 2 Player mode? (I know Extra has a 2 player mode, it's available at wolfgames for 24 bucks)

I used to play Lode Runner and Lode Runner II all the time on various Apple computers. I loved that game. Still have my copies, as well as a couple of disks full of the maps I made. No Apple to run them on right now though.

That game is amazing, my friend had it on his Atari ST.
