All the memories are coming back! I've been trying to find what this was since 1995. I must have been at CompUSA with my dad and I played with this while he looked for whatever. I think the keyboard might not have been connected because no key inputs worked. In my frustration I clicked around the UI and found out that there was a literal suicide button. So I killed Mr. Lode Runner until the game over screen popped up because I just wanted to collect gold!
Except for whatever reason, as a 4 or 5 year old girl I suddenly realized I was complicit in the suicide. The game over screen scared the crap out of me.

My first video game ever, played on my dad's work computer. I had TLR but only once the internet came along did I find a copy of MMR. My fav vintage PC game of my childhood due to the countless hours making maps and programming complicated rube goldberg transporter and bomb race configurations: P My only gripe with MMR vs TLR is I prefer the latter's goldpickup and level exit appearance sound effects.
Like I said for Sim Copter, thanks for covering this!

I played this all the time as a kid. I still have our old Compaq Presario with Windows 95 sitting around. Need to clone that old hdd. It has TLR on it though, apparently this PC originally had Windows 3. 1 and we did a Windows 95 upgrade? I don't remember. It does the ta-da sound on startup. I was so confused the first time I heard that fancy music sound in a video online talking about Windows 95. Also had Spelling Jungle, Kings Quest VII. ah simpler times.

Ohhh man was this a treat. I never owned MMR, but The Legend Returns was literally one of the first PC games I ever played. We had a Packard Bell and my brother picked it up because my dad was a MASSIVE fan of the older ones. I can't remember if Lode Runner was my first game or Putt-Putt Saves the Moon, but I'd like to think Lode Runner. Also, HOLY CRAP THANKS FOR THE DOWNLOAD LINK I HAD NO IDEA.

Thank you for reviewing this. This game means a lot to me. I actually felt teary eyed while watching your review. My brother and I would play this game so much in the old days. We'd fight who would play more, who always get more gold, and we'd bomb or trap each other's players (but he would always win. Those were good memories. I'm very grateful for this review. Thanks again. :)

hey thank you for this great review. I never knew about Mad Monk's Revenge. All i had was Legend Returns and i couldn't find a way to get the darn thing to work on Win 7 64-bit. Glad i found this video.
One last thing: is there a way the screen size in game? The level seems to take up just a quarter of my screen.

Absolutely loved this game! I know one of the designers, and my little brother and I built a whole bunch of two player levels that required a mix of competition and cooperation (wish I had a copy of those. I listened to the Redbook audio soundtrack this morning after watching your video and it's still as good as ever!

I must say that most of the time the games you review (except for sims ) are unknown to me but I still watch your reviews for them because you do them awesomely. The first game that I played was the house of dead which was a small simple plain fun game. I'd be grateful if you do a review for that game.

Clint I need your help! I absolutely LOVE the box art of Lode Runner Online, I'd love to hang it on my wall but I need a good quality scan. Can you by any chance scan the box art and upload it online? Hope you'll see this comment! I know it's a stretch but worth a shot anyway!
