Lode Runner: The Legend Returns was an amazing game!
This was such a fun game. The premise is so simple but works so well. Staying ahead of the baddies is like an exciting puzzle. It was even better playing single screen multiplayer with a buddy.
Does anyone know of anything that scratches a similar itch?
Side Note: in searching around I found this modernized version of Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge. Should be a blast on the steam deck.
@Debs This was one of my absolute favorites back in its time -- though I far preferred the PC version. (The editor is better with a mouse and save to files that could be shared/downloaded.) Something about a game having an editor always appealed to me as a kid even though I never really did anything significant with one. (I just enjoyed building stuff, lol.)
