 -Bit of a waste of time; check out the commercial program Targis from
 -Incognito software; it is an excellent Lode Runner clone, with added
 -bells and whistles, that runs on the Amiga hardware.

 -The packaging credits David Ashley for the game.

All true, exept perhaps the waste of time part.  Incognito Software
is out of business, and none of the titles they produced are available
any longer.  I found a copy through the net a while ago, but I'm sure
there are few around anymore.  

Lode Runner is so good, that I'd even buy a new version, if it was good.
