A downloadable collection

A lot of people remember the classic lode runner games from the early 80s but in the mid 90s the game got rebooted by a game studio called presage. They released a "Lode Runner the legend Returns: which was an iteration on the 2d platform trap-em-up ppl remember. But, in 1998 they released lode runner 2 (not to be confused with a few games titled lode runner II from the 80s). This release took the game to a faux 3d isometric perspective and I think it turned out pretty good but it doesn't appear to be as well remembered as the classics

Inside these folders are a number of lode runner 2 user created extras I have preserved/created

I made 25 custom levels. A few were from my teenage years in the early 2000s
but most were made in the year 2018 in anticipation for the 20th anniversary of a game almost no one plays anymore

"after credits levels saves" contains a save file for each level after the credits as
well as a few other secret levels that are accessible in the game through easter eggs

"LR2 custom user levels" contains levels made by me and various other 
authors that I downloaded from the lode runner archive entropymine.com/jason/lr/
it also contains some of presage's secret levels added to the disk by the QA team

You can find the game at archive.org/details/lode-runner-2-win95
Mounting/emulating does appear to prevent the music and cinematics from playing :(

I have also included a save file that starts at a fresh world hub and has 99 lives which is achievable with the extra lives secret below the player's spawn point in the hub. No cheating was used to create the file I literally just repeated this like 93 times to get this many lives ;)

Thank you,
