At the Tip of Your Tongue

Gah.

Spent the past week trying to remember a video game of my childhood and finally broke down to google it. (Digression: so does that mean Google is now a verb?)

Unfortunately, I couldn't remember key words except for the fact that it had stick figures for characters, your character is being chased around a big chamber filled with tunnels and ladders, and you have to cross from the bottom right of the screen to the top left.

The game? Lode Runner.


(Picture from here.)

I hate it when that happens. Must be getting old. Though what was funnier was that everyone I asked also remembered the game... but not the name. Good to know I'm not the only one whose memory is going.
