via Computer and Video Games


We've uploaded initial screenshots from new Xbox Live Arcade game Lode Runner for your viewing pleasure.

Lode Runner's a reinvention of the game of the same name that released in the early 1980s. It combined platforming with puzzle elements and the ability to dig holes in the platforms, and the player had to collect all the gold in a level while avoiding robots that could be trapped in the holes.

The resurrection's being handled by developer Tozai Games, and in addition to sticking with the formula of the original it's introducing multiplayer modes. A release in 2008 is expected.
