A 1989 Game Boy action-puzzle platformer about escaping a deadly subterranean maze with stolen gold.
The briefing
Hyper Lode Runner is an action, arcade, platform, and puzzle game released for Game Boy in 1989. Developed by TOSE and published by Bandai, it places you in a subterranean labyrinth ruled by the Red Lord of Darkness.
As the last great Lode Runner, you must escape the Labyrinth of Doom with enough stolen gold to help launch a counterrevolution. The maze is guarded by mutant cyborg zombies under the command of General Zod, while its brick-walled catacombs hold the dangers faced by those who entered before you.
