Lode Runner III: Majin no Fukkatsu (also known as Lode Runner III: The Golden Labyrinth) is a classic puzzle-platformer released for the arcades by Irem in 1985. As the third arcade installment in the series, it brings 30 carefully selected levels from the original game to the arcade cabinet. You control the runner, navigating complex brick structures and ladders to collect all the scattered gold while outsmarting relentless guards.
How to Play
Your objective is to collect every piece of gold in the level to reveal the escape ladder. You are defenseless against the guards but can dig temporary holes in the brick floors to trap them or create pathways for yourself. In your browser, use the Arrow keys to move, Z to dig left, and X to dig right. Press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start.
Tips
- Timing is Everything: Holes fill back in after a few seconds. If a guard falls into a hole, you can safely walk over them to pass, but if the hole closes while they are trapped, they will respawn at the top of the level.
- Deliberate Trapping: Trapping enemies is often the only way to reach gold pieces closely guarded in narrow areas. Learn the guard’s AI to lure them into pits before making your move.
