Lode Runner review
PC Magazine (1984): "Not only is Lode Runner a whole lot of fun; it also challenges the mind and creativity of the user by providing a glimpse into the artistry of creating a computer game. I am constitutionally opposed to awarding a perfect score to anyone or anything, but Lode Runner comes very close. It could use a few touch-ups on sound effects and perhaps more representative packaging. On PC Magazine's game rating scale, Lode Runner runs off with a lot of gold."Video
