Lode Runner, a 1983 game by Douglas Smith, is one of my favorite old-school platform games. Besides being "lodes" of fun, its level editor won it critical acclaim in the gaming media of its era, and it remains one of the best-loved platformers of the early 80s. Although not entirely original (Space Panic is a clear precedent), Lode Runner became a definitive game on several platforms, and its smooth and varied gameplay still inspire today.
