Dynamix will be releasing a new version of Lode Runner later this year.

The biggest difference I'm aware of between the old Apple and IBM versions
was the size of the playfield.  The Apple (and C64) versions were 28x16.
The IBM version was slightly smaller, meaning you couldn't put your homemade
Apple/C64 levels into it.  I just spoke to QA at Dynamix, and their version
has a 28x16 playfield.

Has anyone else heard a mysterious rumor that Broderbund is also re-releasing
Lode Runner?  It seems strange that they would do that...
