This can't be the original source code.

Original source, I imagine, would be very tersely commented, if only to fit in memory / floppy, and would have very short variable and subroutine names, and lots of mess and commented-out lines from experiments.

This looks like a very lovingly done disassembly.

From the repository's README:

  Commented source code of the C64 Lode Runner Game - Including the copy protection

This doesn't say who commented it and where the source code comes from.

Another comment by krajzeg points to this repository for more context: https://github.com/Piddewitt/C64-Game-Source-Code
