Lode Runner appeared on the Famicom 22 years ago courtesy of Hudson. Before that, it was a popular game on 8-bit personal computers such as the Apple II+, Atari 800, the MSX, and the Commodore 64 where creator Doug Smith made his mark. Going further before that, Loderunner was a project on a VAX 1 mainframe. The NDS reincarnation of the game is based on the Famicom version where a elfin adventurer hunts for gold ingots and blasts away platform segments to corral pursuers. The play mechanics are simple but when a gang of goons are hot on elf's heels, things tend to get a little unsettling. In addition to the game, a level editor allows players to create an endless assortment of stages. «Game Notes»
