Thanks, Rob and Bill, for your comments and ideas. I am feeling stronger about Lode Runner, and knowing about the earlier game will add depth to the review for sure. I'll hunt it down and make sure it gets due attention.

The PLATO community is a fine bunch of folks, but like any sizable community there are some who lack tact. In any case, I did the best I could, and if that's not good enough for everyone, so be it. It's a free internet--no one is forcing you to watch videos you don't like, and you are always able to make and publish your own as time and interest permits. I have little tolerance for folks who seem to thrive on hurting others. Disagreement is fine and welcome, but not incivility or rudeness.
