Lode Runner: The Legend Returns is the best version of the game I think, the old one is too pixely (like the classic version on iPhone) and the later 3D ones lose the simplicity of the original.

(Thanks for that link.)

Agreed, one of my favourites. I also liked the background art, and the animated clips in between some of the different levels, and the CD's Redbook audio soundtrack. It kind of reminds me of the game Creaks.

I also remember it was one of the games that used WinG[0], before DirectX game out.

Oh God, I used to be obsessed with Lode Runner: The Legend Returns

I sank countless hours in the level editor.
