Lode Runner III - The Golden Labyrinth

In 1985, Irem released the third of four arcade conversions of Lode Runner. This third version, like the second contained 30 selected levels from the 150 original levels. It is pretty much the same game as the previous version, with different levels.

Super Lode Runner

The game keeps the typical gameplay of the Lode Runner series. Players have to collect all the gold on the stage, while either avoiding or trapping the robotic guards who are constantly giving them chase. The game also features a level editor so players can create their own stages to play on.

Battle Lode Runner

Once an ancient arcade game, and with a previous version on the PC Engine by Pack In Video, Hudson Soft have taken the addictive gameplay of Lode Runner and given the graphics a complete face lift. The puzzle-based action in Lode Runner is simple: You are presented with a side-view platforms-and-ladders based level and you have to collect all the gold and escape without getting caught by the baddies. To defend yourself, you can dig holes in the ground, either to the left or to the right, and enemies stumbling upon them will fall down and be trapped. If you time it right, the hole will re-fill before the enemy can climb out, forcing them to respawn elsewhere in the level. If you prefer evasive action, make sure the coast is clear so you can escape up a ladder or across a well-placed rope, but be warned - they will follow! Once you have collected all the gold, hotfoot it to the nearest long ladder and escape out the top of the screen. In magazine previews, this was originally titled Lode Runner II.

Lode Runner II

In 1984, after developing the first arcade conversion of Lode Runner, Irem developed a sequel in a very short period of time. This second version contained 30 selected levels from the 150 original levels, in comparison to the first version's 24 levels. Other than the new levels, and some new looks for the enemies (all of whom behave the same) there is no difference in game play.

Irem brought many of their arcade inspired levels to the Famicom Disk System under the names Super Lode Runner and Super Lode Runner II.

Super Lode Runner II

The second compilation of levels from Irem's Lode Runner Arcade series. Developed for the Famicom Disk System, it was never released outside of Japan. Gameplay consists of collecting all the gold of a level and then exiting. Be sure to avoid enemies while doing so, and team up with a friend to experience the co-op levels

Hudson Soft Co., Ltd. was a Japanese video game company known for releasing numerous titles across video game consoles, home computers, and mobile phones. Headquartered in the Midtown Tower in Tokyo, it also maintained an office in the Hudson Building in Sapporo. Founded on May 18, 1973, Hudson initially focused on personal computer products before expanding into video game development, publishing, peripherals, and music production.

Hudson Soft became a publicly traded company in 2000. In 2005, Konami acquired a 55% controlling stake in Hudson, later purchasing the company outright on April 1, 2011. On March 1, 2012, Hudson merged with Konami Digital Entertainment, which retains its game catalog and periodically re-releases Hudson's classic titles.

This updated take on the original Lode Runner is essentially an entirely new game, but it keeps the core of Douglas Smith's original ideas intact.
