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 :thumbsup:

 

 

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:

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.^^
