The original game, released in 1983 for the UsefulNotes/AppleII by Creator/{{Broderbund|Software}}, consisted of 150 levels and was one of the first games to include a LevelEditor. A myriad of ports and remakes have been released ever since by companies such as Creator/{{Sierra}}, Creator/{{Bandai|NamcoEntertainment}}, and Creator/HudsonSoft (mostly due to the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] version being [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff a resounding success in Japan]]). A true sequel, the aptly named ''Lode Runner 2'', was released in 1998 for [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] and [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh Mac]]. In 1999, ''Lode Runner 3-D'' was released for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64.

Most ports retained this feature, although the worldwide [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] port did not allow the player to save custom level data since the Data Recorder add-on [[NoExportForYou was not released outside Japan]].

Relocated "Nothing is Scarier" and "Surrealism" from YMMV because it's apparently not considered YMMV? The jury might be out on Ni S, but if that should be relocated again let me know.

** Lode Runner 2 gives us its most stand-out world in the game, aptly named "Wacky World." This bizarre dimension comes with neon colored ground, orange slices as bridges, dancing plant life, amorphous jelly-like blobs, lava lamps, giant smiley faces, you name it. And of course, the afformentioned [[TheFaceOfTheSun smiling sun]] with the creepy laugh.
** In Lode Runner 3-D the 4th world is called the "Bio-Hazard." This is an unsettlingly organic world where all of the transportation devices and breakable blocks are made out of strange, alien-like biomatter.
