to be fair they're all pretty much the same except the NES and arcade

The Legend Returns > *

Fun fact... bomberman is the runner

NES LR got cutened up and they added this sickening ice cream truck music because >Japan

Can Escapade come?

C64 and Atari had two versions of Lode Runner: the full 150 level disk game and a 30 level cartridge version with no editor. The VIC-20 port is cartridge only but it does have the editor and will save to either disk or tape ;)

>>430932
why does the Atari version have those striped graphics?

>>431005
That was made in 1984 and one of the very first third-party Famicom games

>>431021
It's running in hi-res mode (320x214) which uses NTSC bleed to produce colors

Some other tech info about LR:

The original PC version was a boot disk game that only works on real CGA, but they made a later DOS version that's compatible with VGA. Mac Lode Runner was released for the original 128/512 models but can run up to System 7.

hmm the vic-20 looks better than I thought it would. I'll have to add it to my vic20 stash for some playing later

>>431084
It's a quite nice port considering it has a full level editor and the C64/Atari cartridge versions didn't. The cart is on the rare side due to having been released when the VIC-20 was on its way out.

>>430932
The PC port is better with a joystick as I find the keyboard irksome

>>431124
Yeah i was just looking into it a bit. It comes with some nice features. I'll hit up the local shops and see if one of them can pull it or hit the flea markets. A local one has alot of old retro stuff like the trs80 and vic20 and old systems like that. Decent prices also.

I can't find the nes version for a decent price. It's not like it's that popular over here or anything.

>>431157
I doubt you'll find such an uncommon cartridge there. If they have VIC-20 carts, they're most likely Commodore's games like Clowns, Avenger, and Jelly Monsters as these were produced in huge quantities.

Even on Ebay you'll rarely find anything except the NES version

What country you from

>>431205
What?

>>431256
What country are you from?

VIC-20 was the only Commodore machine that the bulk of its games came from North America. It had some PAL games but not a lot when you consider the C64 was like 60% PAL.

>>431320
What?

>>430932
The arcade game was released after the computer versions but was unpopular due to the crash in 1984. It has some added wrinkles like the ability to hang off of ladders and an improved enemy AI.

>>431396
>>430932
the gold in the arcade looks like Easter Island heads

>>431371
Country.

Mac version looks best.

And with that, I can put that sentence to bed forever, for I shall never use it again.

When I was a kid I saw my dad get to some obscenely high level in the C64 version of this. I thought he was godlike.

>>431446
you know you can just go to the editor screen and skip to any level you want. that doesn't prove anything.

>>431458

except I was watching the whole time?

>>431438
there's a couple Youtube videos of it running. The graphics are hi-res although the sound is about the same as all the others.

At that time, Apple was trying to discourage games on the Mac because they wanted to promote it as a serious computer.

It's always fun digging through six layers of blocks to get to a gold brick only to find you miscalculated and end up being entombed in there.

>>430932
That level on the PC screenshot I know all too well. The gold on the left of the screen you can't reach because the top floor (obviously) has a gap in it and the lower ones have invisible gaps. You have to trap the baddies so they reappear over there and pick up gold. Then when they come over to the right, dig another hole and grab the gold when they fall in. Repeat process (it's time-consuming)

>>431529
>You have to trap the baddies so they reappear over there and pick up gold

Specifically that if you get them sealed up in the floor, they'll respawn at the top of the screen but always on the opposite side from where they were buried (thus burying them on the right causes them to reappear on the left and vice versa)

it's non canon

>be 10
>go to some guy's garage sale
>Lode Runner 2 for sale for $1
>know nothing about Lone Runner, get the game anyway
>have fun playing the game and making maps in the level editor
>years later, learn that it was a stylistic and design change from previous Lode Runner games
>now wondering what current Lone Runner fans' opinions are on it

>>431558
That's the ending of Lode Runner?

Why would I want Bomberman to become human? He's so much cooler being whatever he is.

>>430986
You misspelled Mad Monks' Revenge.

>>431572
>That's the ending of Lode Runner?
Actually the ending of Bomberman

>>431573
It's okay. Horridly inferior to the rest of the series, particularly TLR.
Go crazy, it's online for free.

Never played that one so IDK

I thought Lode Runner was shit when I played it as a kid. Now that I play it again I fucking love it.

>>431473
lol, and today gaming is keeping ms on top

>>431029
Its actually THE first third party game.

>>430932
Bit off topic, sorry! But is there a picture like this of Lemmings? I seem to remember playing many ports of Lemmings.
