Lader (ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari, ...)

Keys: E: up; D: down; O: left; P: right; SPACE: jump.

Lader is a simplified version of the classic CP/M game called Ladder, coded in ugBASIC.

You ("p" when facing right, "q" when facing left) are a treasure hunter who sneaked in an old ruined and abandoned mansion. The aim of the game is to reach the treasure, represented by the character "$". To do this, you must run on the platforms ("="), go up/down the ladders ("H") and climb over the walls ("|").

Lader has been originally coded for the 14th edition of the BASIC 10 Liner Contest. The game runs on several 8-bit homecomputers, such as: Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Atari. Compared to the original version submitted to the contest (Lader_BASIC10LinerContest.zip), in the other versions available in this page it is possible to specify the game speed. The game you can play in your web browser is the ZX Spectrum version, but you can download the one for your favorite microcomputer!
