I remember you mentioning these memories in one of your previous blog entries or podcast episodes, possibly both. Always love hearing about your grandparents and the NES multicart that they played so much of. Such a sweet story! I’m sure it would’ve made Nintendo Power back in day, well, minus the bootleg games. ;)
My Dad got really into Trick Shot on the Atari (2600) but that was about it. The apotheosis of Lode Runner, by the way, was the Lost Levels on CD-ROM circa the mid '90s...
My apologies, upon further research I was referring to "Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge." Playing that with some epic movie soundtracks was about as heroic as a 10 year old could get in those days.

If we're thinking of the same game (Lost Levels), I remember it as Lode Runner: The Legend Returns by Sierra. It was epic, no question!
The Lost Levels was (I believe) a somewhat expanded edition that allowed you to play 2 player with friends over the Internet...

That makes sense! I believe my cousin and I played that version as well, back when he got his Compaq around '95 or so. Good times!
What an awesome story man. Really enjoyed it
Thanks brother!
I've also heard some stories about dads unwinding with NES Golf, as well.
That's incredible, I love it!
