Never did finish the end level, those effin caves really annoyed me when I was Circa 10 years old.

Bastards made it so hard.

WOW! Me too! This was one of the better games I had on my brother's old apple2+ (heavily modified). It didn't play that smoothly on it, and I also never got far. Maybe level 3? I recall that jet killing me as I tried to land full of passengers over and over and over and over....
Whoever's playing in the vid sure knows how to do it.
Oddly, I never got this for my original sega.

Done. I never got far too. I played it a lot on my Apple //c that was primitive. I remember the game getting super hard with the darn jet!

antsays...

Yeah, those jets were hard and annoying. I didn't get far. Didn't those hostages remind you of Lode Runner? Did you play the arcade port? That was cool.

Yep, Lode Runner is another game I had on the apple2.
Yeah, far too much of my childhood was spent in arcades so I have seen and played it, but I preferred scramble for side scrolling helicopter-like games, so chop lifter didn't eat too much of my money.
I think a friend also had the colecovision port that I've played.

Yep, I was addicted to Lode Runner. I made levels! Did you know Doug E. Smith, the creator, passed away a few months ago?

HA!!! I forgot Lode Runner had the level editor included. I wonder, was it the first game that did that? It's been a few years, I barely remember how to play. ;-)
I had no idea about the creator.
