Well, I just got through writing up all 20 levels of Miner. It's a silly little game, only hinting at the greatness of Lode Runner. Basically, the controls suck. But in a way that's heartening. Often when I want to write something and it doesn't read nearly as smoothly as I thought it up, I wonder if I can really ever get there. Miner vs Lode Runner is an example of how things can improve with maybe a little feedback and a little concession to the (hypothetical) people who are, apparently, supposed to enjoy the game.

I can't really write a review about this without retreading my other Lode Runner reviews and adding something downbeat, so I won't. All I can say is, Lode Runner fans, this is an interesting history lesson.
