Thus the 488 tiles of a Lode Runner level can be represented in 244 bytes - which nicely fits in a single sector of a C= 1541 floppy.
Incidentially, this is the storage format used by the C64 Lode Runner.

 AVault | PC | Lode Runner 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
My first experience was a blocky CGA rendition that held mecaptive for months.A Windows 3.1 version called Lode Runner: The Legend Returns featured bettergraphics, butfailed to unearth widespread interest.
There are ladders toclimb, bars to swingalong and bombs to detonate; in addition, the lode runner can dig holes.There are six kinds ofbombs; most blast in a specific direction, such as up or across the map,while one super-megabomb eliminates a massive chunk of geography.
Some ledges use an electric field to prevent lode runnersfrom jumping -- this is toensure players get trapped if they are unable to dig the correct path tosome gold -- though otherledges permit soaring leaps.
