Introduction

You are a highly trained Galactic Commando deep in enemy territory. Power hungry leaders of the repressive Bungling Empire have stolen a fortune in gold from the peace loving people, and you have just discovered their secret underground treasury. Your goal? To recover every last ingot if Bungling booty. You'll be running, jumping and climbing heroically solving perplexing puzzles and drilling passageways through stone floors and barriers using your laser drill pistol. You'll need more than fleet feet and good looks to get through this mission alive. You'll need quick wits and brains!

Create your own games!

Lode Runner is more than a fast action game. It's a game generator that lets you design your own puzzles and scenes. You can move, add and take away countless ladders, floors, trap doors, crossbars, gold chest and Bungeling enemies. It's easy and there's no end to the variations, challenge and fun.

Lode Runner has 150 different screens for your enjoyment, because of the memory required to play this game, screens 1 to 75 are on side one and screens 76 to 150 are on side two of the cassette.
