iiRcade Inc., the ultimate connected arcade machine that allows gamers of all ages to play their favorite retro and modern games in arcade style at home, is adding four officially licensed Lode Runner games from Tozai, Inc. to the iiRcade platform.
The four games from the Lode Runner series that will soon be available in the iiRcade Store include: Lode Runner (arcade version), Lode Runner The Bungeling Strikes Back (arcade version), Lode Runner The Golden Labyrinth (arcade version) and Lode Runner Escape from Empire (arcade version).
In 1983, Lode Runner was released for Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, VIC-20, PC and a year later, it became the first home console game to be released as a coin-operated arcade cabinet. The game’s frantic action takes place in maze-like static levels where a single player dodges enemies while running and climbing to reach and claim stacks of gold.
“We’re extremely excited to bring the original arcade version of Lode Runner to iiRcade,” said Jong Shin, founder & CEO of iiRcade. “Lode Runner is an all-time classic, both on early 80’s home consoles as well as in the arcade. iiRcadians should really enjoy this nostalgic series.”
iiRcade enables playing nostalgic retro arcade games as well as breathtaking modern games on a premium arcade cabinet for both online and offline multiplayer gaming.
All games are officially licensed and available at affordable prices, and new titles are continuously added to the growing iiRcade store library. The iiRcade Store can be accessed on phones or via browser on PC or Mac through the iiRcade store link. A full list of games currently licensed and targeted for release on iiRcade Store can be found here.
Each iiRcade comes with 11 pre-loaded games: Dragon’s Lair, Double Dragon, Gunbird, Beach Buggy Racing, BombSquad (online multiplayer party game), Snowboard Championship, Diver Boy, Dragon Master, Maniac Square, Twin Brats and Fancy World.
iiRcade allows for cinematic arcade gaming experiences via 19” High Definition display, 100W Dual Stereo Speakers, Premium Arcade Joysticks and hardware and software optimized for gaming. iiRcade also has the latest features built-in, such as WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2 and HDMI-Out, that bring arcade experiences to today’s gamers.
