It must have been built into "grandpa computers" because this is also my memory of this game. He would say "Sierra" along with the game when it started up. This game scared me because of the way the robed creatures would gobble you up.
This is one of the first games I ever played and I used to watch my brother play this all the time. This was in the 90's, I was a really small kid then. All I could rememer about the name was "Sierra" and now I've finally found it :)
@@R9Allan Omg you're right. Sierra is what I used to call it. I didn't even know how to read, and English is not my mothertongue, so I think that's why I only could remember that.
Wooooowww this is so nostalgic Thank you very much for uploading this I've been searching for this game for so long and I forgot the name this is amazing
When you're a kid it's hard to appreciate how great and challenging some of these games like LR:TLR were. I put it down as a kid simply because of the graphics and initial confusion with how to play the game, years later I cannot put it down.
Released in 1994 this game is exactly as old as me...I remembered playing it with my cousin on my uncle's computer about 18 years ago! About 10 years later in 2009 I found it again and I also stored it in my OneDrive (SkyDrive) in order to save it forever.
I lost mine on a computer from 1993. Windows Computer with MS-DOS. All we had then were floppy disks with kilobytes of storage. Doom 2 hell on Earth required 4 disks. They were so easy to lose and never retrieve.
This game, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, ZZT, Chips Challenge, Descent 2, Doom 2 shareware, and Rise of the Triad. If somebody could somehow bottle the nostalgic memories of these so I could take a swig now and again. I feel a little sorry for kids that grew up past the 90's, they never will know the painful joy of receiving old PC parts 3rd hand from your uncle which allowed you just BARELY to play games, and only after you'd sweated over extended memory settings or getting the damn DMA channels on your Sound Blaster 16 properly configured.
Yeah, or even running in the first place. Still remember having to manually add extended memory in config.sys and allocate it from primary so that Doom 1 would run on my 386SX, that feeling of happiness as you heard the Doom.midi start playing after 2 hours of it crashing out
I used to play this game for hours with my cousins on their compaq computer. We loved to make our own levels and put traps for the Demons. So much fun. ❤
Man so much nostalgia. I remember going into the game files and finding the music MIDI files, then loading them into Finale so I could edit it and make remixes.
took me forever to find this game. I remember it every once in a blue and do a search and I FINALLY FOUND IT! We had it on an apple computer waaaay back in the day. I remember it the computer was faulty and when we got a replacement this game wasn't on the replacement.
I remember going to my mom's friends house and playing this game on his computer back in 2010. He had this game and the old wolfinstein on it, from his son who used to play them way back when. The nostalgia is great, and I was always looking for what this game was called and now I finally found it.
Oh, I played this game with my friend on old Windows 95 laptop when we were childs :D I remember those funny midi sounds and how we made our own cool maps... Nostalgic feelings
Just remembered this after seeing a Facebook video short where someone played the NES port and seeing the gameplay had dug up a very LONG forgotten memory!!
@@rommix0I had this on our early 90’s Mac I loved this game. Would build levels. Some levels were so creative. Wish this was in the App Store! Was the music different for Mac?
que nostalgia, recuerdo que de niño solo teniamos un vieja computadora con este juego en una carpeta escondida porque mis padres no querian que juegue, como difrute este maldito juego
Played this in a Circuit city on a display computer not knowing what I played. Found out about Lode Runner later and was like "That game I played was once similar and then forgot. Saw a random thing with a image of this and finally looking for it lol
I had saved the full SIERRA folder onto a backup from year 1999, and today (1-Jan-2017) I find it among a lot of old stuff. To my great and pleasant surprise, I can play this game on my Windows 7 pc :-D
This is exactly how I remembered it. A kind of expansion, The Lode Runner Mad Monk's Revenge, has been unofficially released after being rewritten in a C language. You can enable LR:TLR midi music in it, but you can't change the sound effects to match the original. I very much dislike how the cheerful 'pling!' of collecting gold became a tinny 'tic' sound in MMR. TLR has the most memorable audio for me, personally. Love this game.
We had this on an old computer along with The Even More Incredible Machine and it was so fun I loved it. The computer doesn't work anymore so watching this brought back memories
