    I played this on the C64. I may still own the original packaging for
    it, I'm not sure.

    No. I finished very few games back in the days of the C64. The only
    ones I did finish were a few adventure games and some text adventures.
    The only reason I finished those was because I had the hint books.

    I played the pc demo on a monochrome greenscreen, with SIMCGA :) I've
    never seen this run in color, threw the guy a few bucks via the link there. Very cool!

    Loderunner was one of those games I played so often I started seeing
    it in real life. I'd read a book and see the little men running back
    and forth on the lines of text. That was then I knew I had to start
    cutting back. ;-)

    The thing was, I never actually got that /good/ at the game. It's one
    of those games I've never finished (I got to about level 50 before
    inevitably getting stuck on some difficult part and running out of
    lives). It didn't help that the game lacked any save capability, so
    you'd have to restart from the beginning every time.

    Did you make your own levels? I did.
