Apple Lode Runner - The Remake | | |
English:
Apple Lode Runner is a remake of the popular Apple II game Lode Runner written by Doug Smith and originally released by Broderbund in 1983. It plays and looks as close to the original version as is possible, but many extras have been added and several features have been modified to make it easier for you to design and organize your own level maps. For those of you who are not familiar with this game, it is an action / puzzle game combining quick reactions with logical reasoning. You progress from level to level by collecting the treasure chests and avoiding the guards. Your only defence, apart from your quick wits, is a laser pistol which you can use to dig holes to temporarily trap the guards. When you have collected all the treasure chests on a level, you must climb to the top of the level before proceeding to the next level. Some levels are more action than puzzle, whilst others are more puzzle than action.
