    I still love this game!

  During the final weeks of Year 12 at High School, a friend and I
used to spent much of our time in the computer room designing Lode
Runner levels for each other.  Still passed HSC though :-)
  I have a disk of perhaps 50 levels (maybe not that many, but hey, I
haven't counted them in a while).  Some of them are DAMN HARD :-)  I
have one level that requires absolutely split-second timing from start
to finish; I'm very proud of that level, except that I can hardly ever
get through it myself :-)
  However, I'm not sure why I'm saying all this as my lode runner
data disk is not here at college, and being in Australia the postage
would be a bit much...(Still, Lode Runner is my all-time favorite
game, bar none).
