This is not lode runner, they changed the timer on holes. – Lode Runner Classic Review

Ok I did some testing, I played the original on my c64 and they added a full 5 seconds to how long a hole stays open. 5 seconds longer Than the original. This absolutely changes the difficulty so I can't recommend this. This is not your granddads lode runner. The difficulty has been watered down. Pathetic. After playing on my c 64 I can't play this thing as it is not faithful to the original and once you play them back to back, this thing is play school. Annoying.
