I recall that there was a "Lode Runner 3D" released for the Commodore and Atari back then, but I have no recollection of playing it. However, most reviews of this version were harsh.

There truly are tons of versions of Lode Runner. I believe the 3D one you're referring to was published by Synapse as "Lode Runner's Rescue" (I believe at one point in its development it was called "Lode Runner's Daughter" if I remember from my youth): http://www.chasethechuckwagon.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000063824 . The first true 3D Lode Runner was probably Lode Runner on the Nintendo 64. It's not a bad game actually, though it's a blurry mess on anything less than an S-Video connection. If I'm reminded at some point after I'm done with the TRS-80 stuff, I'd love to go through all the Lode Runners in my collection along with whatever you guys played either first hand or through emulation. It would be fun to do a collective Lode Runner-athon...
(I also agree that I don't like the multi-screen Lode Runners or the ones with chunky graphics. Lode Runner is best confined to a single screen with tiny characters!)
