Yeah, I was gonna say, this game is one of my fondest memories from my earliest days of gaming on the Apple IIc.
The Sierra update in the 90s was pretty slick, too.

Now this is odd. Lode Runner is up on Amazon for $5 more than on XBLA. 😕

edit: ACK! No wonder the price is $5 higher on Amazon. The XBLA price is a mistake and should be 1200 MS Points! Not 800 MS Points.

I absolutely love Lode Runner, but I can't see dropping $15 on it.

$15...... yeah right. try again. fail. i much prefer the orig graphics. new graphics ruin the game.

Same. I'd give 5-10 bucks max.

Still waiting for the MtG XBLA game!

Lode Runner is incredible but definitely not $15 incredible, I rather just boot up the Sierra remake and play that.
