If your teen age happened to fall in the era of ZX Spectrum, you’ll recall it with nostalgic tears. (That time is finally back!) If during your school age you spent time at a PC-compatible box, you’ll love it the moment you give it a try. Violence-free, suitable for all ages, action games that suck you in the play atmosphere.
The idea is plain enough, and that makes the game really playful. With your nimble and courageous hero, you browse through the levels of a labyrinth trying to collect all treasures hidden all over the place. You can’t get to the next level until you’ve picked up every single treasure chest. It would be too easy if it wasn’t for Bungelings, your enemies trying to hunt you down. But you aren’t going to give up; running to the next treasure chest, you dig holes in the ground, and the enemy chasing you gets stuck in it… Levels become progressively more difficult and enemies turn more aggressive to keep you excited.
Lode Runner by ZX Games features improved appearance, enhanced actions and controls, extended functionality of the software, keeping the original game’s spirit intact. The software’s small footprint makes it quick to download and run, regardless to hardware configuration. All the original levels are included as well as a number of brand new ones and. Also included is a level editor, which can actually make the game never-ending. | | | Learn more about Lode Runner… |
