Lode Runner is a classic video game that was first created by Douglas E. Smith in 1983. Originally, Lode Runner was developed for the Apple II, and later versions were released for various other platforms, including DOS, the Commodore 64, Atari, and others. In Lode Runner, the player controls a character who must navigate through levels filled with platforms and ladders while avoiding enemies. The main objective is to collect all the treasures scattered throughout the level.
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."
