Lode Runner description

One of the most interesting arcades in the world. Need to run a small man and collect the gold. This process, much in the way of other men, who are driving our hero into a corner and blatantly destroyed. But it was not used from these enemies of salvation (sometimes more than 5), if the character would not be able to burn through brick blocks, which after some time are restored, and can detain enemies. After all the gold is gone, open the previously hidden staircase that leads to the next level puzzle, where we were again waiting for gold, men-enemies, which again will have to escape, stairs, rails, brick blocks and interesting gameplay...

One word: great arcade game, despite its age.

PS Version of games for consoles NES (Dendy in common) has the best graphic and sound design: strange bunch of pixels depicting character, replaced by a beautiful purple figure, enemies instead of the same groups of pixels become like the white mummies, gold instead of white brick, like a brick, were now flashing yellow heaps of gold, instead of monotonous knocking, which is the steps the character was enjoyable and funny sound.
