Reviewed April 2002
LodeRunner is a legend. So many people have played
it on their PC or Mac. Heck, I even remember playing it on Unix
and getting hooked. Now the legend returns to your Palm! Developed
by Aaron Ardiri for PocketExpress,
LodeRunner keeps the original look and feel, even the sound effects.
So you veteran LodeRunner addicts should feel right at home when
you play this game on your Palm. For those of you who are new to
this game, LodeRunner is a running puzzle game. You are a miner
in the deep realm of the underground. Your goal in this game is
to run, as fast as you can, to collect all the gold pieces and
get out before the monks get you. As a miner you can dig your way
to escape or trap the monks who are on your heals. Once you collect
all the gold in a level, a door will appear for you to escape.
This Palm version of LodeRunner keeps all 150 original levels and
gives you the ability to edit your own levels.
Playing Hints and Tips
Here is what the game developer tells
you: the monks fall if there is nothing to stand on; if the monks
are on the same level as you, they will move towards you; if
the monks are below you, they will move to the closest climbing
position and climb up until they reach your height level and
stand still; if the monks are above you, they will move to the
closest falling position.
Here is what I tell you:
keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer. When you can't
outrun your enemies, keep them close to you and trap them. Save
the keys and bombs you collect in the early levels for later.
There will be levels you wish you had spare keys.
