About the game: Lode Runner is a classic game dating back to 1983 the idea is to collect all the gold in the level while dodging the Mad Monks that are trying to do you in. It’s got single screen puzzles that require you to think and act fast in order to outwit your enemies and reach the end. To top it all of it’s got complete 2 player co-op!
Why it’s a classic: There are older versions of this game but this is the first one I really got into. All versions of the game have a level editor that let you create your own devious puzzles and share them with friends! I remember spending hours trying to beat this game and then creating level after level to stump my friends and brother. It’s a fun action/puzzle that will have you on your toes the entire time.

About the game: You play as a young detective and try to capture crooks by solving clues and traveling around the world in hot persuite.
Why it’s a classic: Sure it’s not the carmen sandiego for the Apple II but it’s still a classic. I chose to go with this version since this is the one I played more of having bought the home version. I remember being utterly infatuated with this game when I was in elementary school because of it’s focus on solving clues and visiting exotic locations trying to catch your perp. The thing about these games is that while the game gives you clues it’s up to you to use an encyclopedia (or the internet now which makes it far too easy IMO) to solve them. If you’re looking for a great games to help teach kids geography or just looking to kill a little time I definatly suggest checking it out!
