Lode Runner 



You are a highly trained Galatic 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 varations, challange and fun.  



To move use keys:  



Q = Up ladders 

Z = Down ladders and drop from ropes 

I = Left 

P = Right 

N = Dig holes



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. 

You can re-design any of the screens to your liking or you can

design your own screens, which can then be saved to tape and

loaded at a later time.  By holding down the shift key together

with other selected keys you can obtain extra features such as. 



Shift/L = Advance to next level 

Shift/M = Extra Men 

Shift/A = Abort screen on which you are playing 

Shift/R = Restart
