Super Lode Runner  Irem (Tamtex)1987After the huge success of Lode Runner on old homecomputer systems and eventually console systems, Irem produced several arcade Lode Runner games. From the arcade games they selected a few levels and ported them to the Famicom Disk System under the name "Super Lode Runner", making it the third Lode Runner game for a Nintendo system. I really wonder who wanted to play another Lode Runner game? Yes it is still enjoyable if you are a Lode Runner addict, and I thought that the first few levels are easier than in the first two Hudson Soft NES versions, which is good. But with the exception of a two-player cooperative mode there is nothing new or fresh about this game. Graphics were never a strong point in Lode Runner games, but I wished it had looked at least a little bit better than the 1984/1985 NES Lode Runner games from Hudson Soft, which sadly it doesn't. labelimageminimize
Super Lode Runner II  Irem (Tamtex)1987I am pretty disappointed by "Super Lode Runner II". It was released only a couple of months after the first one and counting the two Hudson Soft Lode Runner games it was already the fourth Lode Runner game for the Famicom. "Super Lode Runner II" is basically the same game as "Super Lode Runner" just with different and even more (much more actually) difficult levels and a level editor. labelimageminimize
