What does "Enable Cheats" do?

 
 

Enable Cheats allows users see behind the scenes and edit the levels included in the Original Database of levels which are included with Lode Runner. If a level is just too difficult or if you want to see where the fall through bricks and other secrets are, this is the way to do it. Here's how!

  1. From the Game Menu select Configuration.
  2. Select the Enable Cheats checkbox.
  3. Click OK
  4. Select Original from the List of Installed Levels on the Main screen.
  5. From the Game Menu select Edit.

Now you are able to view and edit the original levels. WARNING: Any changes you make and save to these levels are saved for good!! You may want to make a copy of this set of levels if you choose to edit them so you will always have a backup copy.

 

 
   
 

How Do I create a New Level?

 
 

 

To create a new level, from the main application screen on your handheld tap on the menu icon. From the game menu choose "Create." The program will prompt you to choose a unique name. Choose a name and tap on OK. Next, from the main screen you'll now see your newly named level on the screen, tap to highlight it and then tap on the menu icon. Go to "Edit" - From there, tap on the menu item again and go to "Create Level."

 

 
   
 

Where are the instructions?

 
 

 

We understand your frustration about there being no manual or readme file included -- however, the only instructions currently available for the game are included in the Help: Instructions menu in the game itself. I am happy to tell you that we are working with the developer to come up with a special "Tips and Tricks" section that we will be posting on our website. Please stay tuned to www.pocketexpress.com for more details. In the meantime, there are many fan sites that offer additional hints for users of Lode Runner. I would recommend using an Internet search engine such as google.com and typing "Lode Runner Fan Site" in the search criteria to see what comes up.

 

 
   
 

How do I save a game?

 
 


There is not a way to to save your place in LodeRunner. However, you can always change which level you start from. Here's How.

From the Main Screen select the Menu Button. ( Located just underneath the icon that looks like a house)

  1. Select Configuration from the Game Menu.
  2. Once at the configuration screen you can set the game to start on any level.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Now press Play and you will start on the level you assigned in the configuration screen.

It sounds like the Original Levels database did not make it over to your Palm device when you synched. Download the file from this link: pXlrORIGINAL.pdb. Double Click on the file in order to add it to your Palm Desktop Install Folder. Perform a Hotsync. Start your Palm device and select Lode Runner. You should see "Original" listed in the Installed levels area on the main screen. Select Play and you should be ready to go.

 

 
   
 

Game is stuck, is there any way to restart?

 
 


When Lode Runner gets stuck in a hole or the like and can’t be killed, you need to commit suicide. Do this by tapping the File Menu silk screen icon (below the house in the Grafiti area) and tapping “Commit Suicide.” Your game will restart minus the life.
