Lode Runner, AND Archon II both had versions on the Amiga.  Both
are now out of print, one from sheer age (Archon II came out in '85,)
the other from bad marketing/piracy.  The Lode Runner game was 
really called Targis, and from the package, it was impossible to
tell it was a Lode Runner.

Thanks to net-order, and some friends on the net, I was able to buy
a copy of each of these "classics."  So keep your eyes peeled on those
closeout bins, and the Software For Sale postings, and you could be
lucky too.  (I think Archon II is still available due to overstock
before it went out of print.)

ps:  There is a program called fixarchon that will patch Archon (I)
to work on non 1.1 version Amigas.  It is on either xanth.cs.odu.edu,
or abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov.
