    TRIVIA
    Lode Runner arcade was released in July 1984 by Irem under license from Broderbund.

    The Bungeling Empire, made famous in the Lode Runner series, is also the antagonist in "Vs. Raid On Bungeling Bay". Both games were developed by Broderbund Software.

    Alberto Manenti, Emanuele Lubiani and Massimo Gaspari all hold the official record for this game with 999999 points.

    Alfa Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (R•Type: Irem Game Music - 28XA-199) on January 25, 1988.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • If you finish a level in less than half of the time, the time bonus is multiplied by 2.
    • If you do not kill any enemy during a level, a 10000-point bonus is granted.
    • If you do not make any enemy fall in a hole during a level, a 20000 points bonus is granted!
    • If during a fall, you land on an enemy, you do not lose but obtain 1000 points.
    • Easter egg:
    There is a hidden monster from the next block on every level where digging is allowed (some levels have only stone, thus, the blaster cannot make holes). The monster can be uncovered by blasting the dirt that it is hiding in. Once it is uncovered, it will join in pursuing the player. If it is entrapped, it will leave behind a bonus of 3000 to 8000 points. Its entrapment will not count against the 20000 entrapment bonus.
