Lode Runner is a puzzle video game, first published by Brøderbund in 1983. It is one of the first games to include a level editor, a feature that allows players to create their own levels for the game. This feature bolstered the game's popularity, as magazines such as Computer Gaming World held contests to see who could build the best level. Tozai, Inc. currently holds the intellectual property[clarification needed] and trademark rights of Lode Runner.
The Hudson Selection Vol. 1-4 are a collection of video games by Hudson Soft, released only in Japan. Each volume is an enhanced remake of the following games.
Hudson Selection Vol. 1 - Cubic Lode Runner: Lode Runner is a remake of the classic 8-bit Famicom / NES action game Lode Runner. The remake version features 3D and 2D graphics, 60 stages and an Edit Mode for creating custom stages. The BGMs are also rearranged.
The legendary Lode Runner rolls once again with a 3-D update. Run across isometrically viewed playfields and dump pursuers by creating holes in your wake. Collect all the "lode" scattered across the screen to progress to new levels. Although blasting open holes are your salvation, they will eventually fill up again and trapped pursuers who fall into the holes provide a walking "plank" for their fellows to walk over.
A hefty 60 stages are included in the game with the difficulty level progressively becoming steeper as you blow through the first couple of easy ones. Later levels require a bit of thinking in order to collect the lode - for example, there's buried treasure in some levels and one must think about blasting holes properly so that you'll get the gold as well as provide yourself with an escape route.
Once you've conquered all 60 levels, an Edit Mode allows the creations of new and crafty levels for your own pleasure or to share with friends who come over to test their best.
