Lode Runner for the Nintendo Entertainment System is an enhanced version of the classic puzzle-platformer. Players control a character tasked with collecting treasures from various levels while avoiding enemies. The game retains the original's core mechanics and features new graphics, levels, and challenges, emphasizing strategy and skill in navigating obstacles and evading foes.
This updated take on the original Lode Runner is essentially an entirely new game, but it keeps the core of Douglas Smith's original ideas intact.
