@The_Picard_Maneuver This… actually kind of makes sense…

Also, reminds me of Super Meat Boy. 😁

@leo85811nardo @neme That’s the maddening thing about all this. Everyone who installs a Meta app on their phone is giving information about all of their contacts to Meta to abuse without permission from those contacts. Same for so many others. I don’t even want to think about what X may be doing by this point.

And you try to tell such people “you know this thing is bad and collects data it shouldn’t be allowed to, right?” They’ll say “I know” and then keep using it anyway. I wish there was a way to get them to understand that it’s the digital equivalent of having cameras installed in their bathroom or something and not just their own bathroom, but another pointed outward, zoomed in on their neighbors’ bathroom windows.

@Debs Agreed 100%. I think the primary problem here is that most of those who could possibly forgot about its existence.

Imagine a much more complex modern game with its basic mechanic too. I could see this actually being really interesting in a 3D world. Sort of like Deception, but less dark, lol. First person might make it even more interesting still.

@Debs @trd As far as I know there never was a spiritual successor other than of course Lode Runner 2 itself which really wasn’t the same thing at all. I think licensing issues caused the Lode Runner games to fall into an IP limbo or something and somehow somewhere along the way everyone seemed to have forgotten about these games.

I have seen a recent “3D” Lode Runner appear on the Switch, but IMO it wasn’t any fun at all. I’d still consider Sierra’s Lode Runner game to be the best of them all personally.

@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.)
