Championship Lode Runner (チャンピオンシップロードランナー, Chanpionshippu Rodo Ranna) is the champion's version of Lode Runner and its sequel. The game may also be found on a pirate NES cartridge under the names Super Load Runner or Load Runner 2. This game shares the same status with the Ultima and Wizardry games which had sizeable spin-offs in Japan that were mostly unknown in North America. Far more Lode Runner games were released in Japan than there were in North America. Expect a very long game with either this or any other game in the Lode Runner series.
