shouldn't there be one more lode runner game included?

[Ice Scream]

Hello.

So i have a question that bugs me, one lode runner that was actually my favorite game back in the day was Lode Runner The Legend Returns so shouldn't that game be in this edition too?

Anyway, thanks.

I love The Legend Returns. I'd flip out if that appeared one steam. No offence to this game, but TLR is a lot more appealing to me.

Graphics too chunky. Muich prefer the old broderbund version on the c-64. This game is basically Space Panic. Similar mechanics.

Indeed, would love to see it return to modern pc's!

The main selling point is the community content creation so they went with voxels to make creating content easier. Lode Runner has a history of constantly changing the art style so there's always going to be someone who doesn't like a certain LR's style.

I've posted this in another thread but you can get Lode Runner: The Legend Returns and Mad Monk's Revenge for free from the developers website, and there's a fan re-write of the game engine available so the game will run on modern systems.

Also, Tozai owns the rights to Lode Runner, but when TLR and MMR were made, Presage Software owned the rights, so while people will probably use the included level editor to try and recreate some of those levels (if they haven't already), you won't see the content from those games included officially.

Exactly my thought. Without The Legend Returns it doesn't look right.

Well, like I said, that was made by a different company and Tozai doesn't own the rights to those games. You can always download the game free from one of the links I posted above to get your fix of the Presage games, though.

to be honest, yes. the legend returns was a great game and it also had a great 2 player mode. if that comes out as HD remake (or just for modern PCs) i sure would buy it. i also would anyhow like to see Lode runner 2 (this iso 3d one) on steam too if im honest.

The fan-remake of MMR at http://mmr.quarkrobot.com is the closest you'll get to that. The engine runs on modern systems in widescreen resolutions, and uses the same art assets from the original. The guy's brother is also working on a re-write of the Lode Runner 2 engine and will hopefully be releasing the first version soon.

28th of may original Lode Runner (First one) was added to Steam library with release date of 19 may, so 9 days ago after adding it to library. Very strange. 30th of may (today) it was deleted from library. I was hoping for this to be released because soon after probably we would have seen Lode Runner 2 The Legend returns.
Here's link https://steamdb.info/app/868460
If you click "History" tab, you can see when this game was added and deleted. Maybe they have just made a mistake with release date, and will put it back anytime soon.

Oh no, now I don’t have any hope

Lode Runner The Legend Returns is 20+ years old. I found it on an abandonedware website and got it running in Dosbox. I forget which site but it shouldn't be hard to find.
