AR: 2013 is clearly gonna be the year of the retro gamer.
More and more games from earlier eras are making reappearances on handheld devices. Lode Runner Classic is one that evokes thoughts of old wine in new skin.
Lode Runner Classic was beautifully rendered in its original classic 8-bit glory, what with the collection of gold bars being the name of the game. Additionally, I had to avoid enemy guards and use blasters. It came together as a cute puzzler from yester-years as it closely followed the original script.
Douglas E. Smith, creator of Lode Runner, has regrettably passed away.
Lode Runner is a game that needs no introduction. Since appearing on the Apple II three decades ago, it has become one of the most widely ported titles in all of gaming, appearing on over two dozen platforms officially, and countless others in the form or remakes and clones. In fact, those itching for some Lode Runner action have a few options on the Play Store already, as long as you aren’t worried about named and licenses.
148apps: Lode Runner Classic is an iOS version of the original game in the Lode Runner series, but its transition is a rough one.
