The bow has many types of upgrades, such as increasing the power of the arrows and the reload speed. There are two main weapons in the game: the pistol and the bow. Each level of the game comes with its own special challenges and goals, and once you complete each level you unlock a new star, thus advancing your game status. The game is very much like a mixture of adventure, platforming, puzzle and action, using mainly, but not exclusively, the elements of lightheartedness, humor, and excitement.
Here, you play the role of a space traveler who must find his way back to earth while battling a series of aliens, creatures and the occasional tough guy.
Lode Runner: Legend of the Seven Stars follows the life of bounty hunter Jody who falls out of a sky-orbit crash. In addition, it includes a nice little story line, and several different endings depending on how you complete the game. The game-play mechanics of Lode Runner are very much similar to that of the Space Panic from decades ago. Lode Runner is an addictive puzzle-platform adventure game, originally released by Broderbund Computer Entertainment Software in 1983.
