In 1984, [[Irem]] developed an arcade conversion of ''Lode Runner''.<ref>{{cite web |url        =http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8441| title =Lode Runner| publisher =The International Arcade Museum |access-date =5 Oct 2013}}</ref> It contains 24 remixed levels from the 150 original levels. Irem brought many of its arcade-inspired levels to the Famicom Disk System with the names ''Super Lode Runner'' and ''Super Lode Runner II''. In Japan, ''[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]]'' listed ''Lode Runner'' on their August 1, 1984 issue as being the most successful [[table arcade cabinet]] of the month.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - テーブル型TVゲーム機 (Table Videos)|magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]]|issue=241|publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]]|date=1 August 1984|page=27|lang=ja}}</ref> The arcade version has numerous sequels, including these:

* ''Lode Runner: The Bungeling Strikes Back'' (1984), selecting 30 levels based on the original game developed for the arcade. The gameplay is almost exactly the same (save the addition of a two-player mode) and the only heavy modification was the graphics and advancement to a 512-color palette. In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Lode Runner: The Bungeling Strikes Back'' on their March 1, 1985 issue as the seventh most successful table arcade unit of the month.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - テーブル型TVゲーム機 (Table Videos)|magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]]|issue=255|publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]]|date=1 March 1985|page=21|lang=ja}}</ref>
* ''Lode Runner: Majin No Fukkatsu'' (1985), also known as ''Lode Runner: The Golden Labyrinth'', developed by Irem.
