Lode Runner's Rescue is a 1985 action game developed by Joshua Scholar for the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit computers as a follow-up to Doug Smiths's Lode Runner.[1] Lode Runner was published by Brøderbund, but the sequel was published under the Synapse Software name, a company acquired by Brøderbund in 1984.
Reception
Lode Runner's Rescue was positively received by press, including Ahoy!,[2][3] ANALOG Computing,[4] Atari Explorer,[5] and Commodore Magazine which described it a surprise hit.[6] Computer Gaming World praised the Atari version's graphics but asked "How likely is it that a game with girls, mice, cats, and magic mushrooms should be called Lode Runner's Rescue?" It speculated that the publisher put the series name on an unrelated game.[7]
