Lode Runner

It's pretty badass. I bought it back when it was on DotW, but haven't played it until recently. It's a well-done puzzle platformer, that I'm sure was pretty innovative when it was first released on the NES, but with souped-up graphics, it feels like a modern-day easy cash-in game. Not to say that it's not fun, which it is, it just doesn't do anything I haven't seen before. Basically, you run around, shoot out parts of the ground to trap enemies or to get to new places, and collect gold. Kind of like Pac-Man and Dig Dug but nothing like either. The game actually does get fairly hard, and it looks a little bit time-consuming. I don't really know when I'll get it done.
