darthkur Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, it's 35. It's a cool looking font but it doesn't come out clear enough on the Lynx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) 139200 after stumbling through 5-6 practice runs I had a good run This is a really cool version! definitely unfinished but still nice & playable. I love how it's all in one screen & how fast everyone moves. also the use of diagonal to run onto ladders for smooth action bonus: SG-1000 -- 9750 I missed my chance to get a screenshot & it zeroes out the score when you lose. doesn't even say "game over" you just immediately get a title screen. not willing to play that again. I think that was about the worst version of Lode Runner I've ever played. you can fall into the holes, even after the bad guys do! sometimes I was able to run over them. I think maybe it wanted me to wait until they're good & nestled in there. anyway though I got a pic just to show you guys what the game looks like: Edited September 11, 2014 by S.BAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

108 Stars Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So, my score: 25325 ? Basically, I like the playability of the port. This could have been an official release. BUT: You see it is a coder's game. Meaning not a lot of effort went into making it look good. I'm not talking about zoomed in look like in the Japanese versions, but just adjusting the original simplistic graphics to the Lynx res. The numbers are a good example. With a bit of help by a pixel artist this could have been even better. Well, and adding some music would have been nice. Sad to hear about Mr.Smith's passing. I am no Lode runner crack, but it is one of those highly addictive early games, and one that did not come from the arcade. The fact that it is being continued in Japan to this day speaks for the concept's quality. BTW, did you know the fun fact that Bomberman is the prequel to Lode Runner? Again, just a Japanese invention, but still a fun fact.^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
