Crash's ratings box called Lode Runner "a very good game, with plenty of playability and addictive qualities". One reviewer wrote that it showed a great game needs a good idea rather than big graphics; another found its small, old-fashioned graphics beautifully animated and ended, "Lode Runner is a great game. Get it!"	`p. 39, Lode Runner, commentsp. 38, Lode Runner, criticismp. 39, Lode Runner, criticismp. 39, Lode Runner, criticism`	Magazine
