Lode Runner

[RidleyDeckard]

It looks like Lode Runner is on its way to XBLA in the near future and it looks like it has had a great HD face lift....

I just hope it plays well too

Goes look impressive for arcade )

As we are at the end of Days of Arcade (or whatever they decided to call the promotion) I'm guessing Lode Runner is the last title on the list to be released so it should be out this Wednesday

Out tomorrow apparently at 1200 points

At 1200 pts, that'll be another game I'm not buying then, damn you M$

Was listening to Major Nelson's podcast today, and in it was a interview with a guy who did the game for xbla. I can't remember the game from 20 yrs ago, but it does seem interesting
There will be a demo which will be about 5 levels, and also included will be a multiplayer section too

I just bought this game for 800pts!!. Yes it was supposed to be 1200 so it must be a mistake. Grab it now quick!

Seems it is officially 800 pts afterall despite all the pre-release press saying it was 1200. Maybe they listened to the usuall outcry of overpricing. Its a great game but having never played Loderunner before I'm finding it damn hard!

it definitely has that one more go feel to it.
its a cross between pacman and N+

get the feeling tho i'll reach a point where you get completely stuck like on N+

speaking of which ..... how the F do you do puzzle 15???

from the start you are stuck

ok i see what you have to do .... position yourself so the bad guy is able to collect the gold i think ....

I've only downloaded the demo and quite enjoyed it, but when I came to look at the price it still mentions 1200ms points for it and its the same via xbox.com...800 ms points is reasonable - but not 1200

same here

Damn, I wish I had purchased it this morning now as it back up to 1200 pts

It's a great little game..........I'm loving it
Some of those puzzles are just brain exploding though
.......they just look impossible at first
....and then you manage to do it
They are getting worse though

I've only played the demo, and I'm even stuck on stage 3 ...its the one where you have to blast the boulders to gain access to 1 of the lode. It's the only part I get stuck on cos I either get trapped or get captured

I'm too old & too slow !!!
