 I tried go-up using a mono-emulator and found that it was unplayable (too slow
and jerky).  However, Broderbund has released Lode-Runner for the ST through a 
French company called Loriceil (sp?).  I played it on a friend's ST and it was 
a very good port.  Better sound and graphics by far than the old apple II vers.
It also has a level editor and a cheat mode.  If you liked the old LR you should
call around to some software dealers who sell imports like:

COMPUTER GAMES+  (800) 443-8189
SIDELINE SOFTWARE (800) 888-9273
