This week in Your Parents
Basement, we are digging holes, and climbing ladders and shimmying across
ziplines, to avoid enemies! From 1983 for the PC and 1987 for the NES, we’re
playing Lode Runner by Broderbund.

TIMESTAMPS
- 0:00 – Intro, which covers the jaunty tunes in the first 30 seconds or so of gameplay.
- 22:15 – This week, we hear from some people about why Lode Runner is… The Most Best Game of All-Time.
- 27:00 – Emails! A lady thinks that Donnie guy from last week sounds really sexy.
- 41:30 – We can’t end the show without helping some people in… Ask the Sweet Boys.
- 47:00 – Snifferoo. An early guess, but next week’s game is going to score high on the DuckTales meter!
SHOW NOTES
- According to Price
Charting, the NES version of Lode
Runner is pretty affordable, at $9 for the loose cart and $28 for the cart,
box and manual. It’s been released on a bunch of other platforms as well, and
god-knows how many times for the PC, so you can easily score a copy for less
than $10.
- The license for Lode Runner is held by Tozai Games, and
their website is here. They also hold
the license for Spelunker and R-Type now.
- As we are sometimes wont to do,
we talk a lot about Fallout on this
episode, and specifically, New Vegas.
The trophy guide Steve mentions is available here.
- You can see Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, which has
similar gameplay, in this
YouTube video.
