There is this arcade game Lode Runner: the Dig Fight. It's pretty unknown, yet awesomely designed and is great for co-op or vs 2 player play. Also I remembered playing Lode Runner on NES as a child, but after I recently tried it, camera annoyed me a lot. To move the camera I had to come to the border so close that it barely gave me time to react to enemies. Wiki lists a lot of Lode Runner games for different platforms, which one is better and worth playing?
Just play the damn Apple II version on emulation.
Only played the gameboy one, I quite like it. No camera issue like you describe IIRC.
By the way how does the multiplayer vs work in Dig Fight?

Players have to collect gems, whoever gets all or get the most (can't quite remember) wins. And of course, you make traps and pits for each other.
The NES version has too much tinsel; I much prefer the stark minimalism of the original computer versions.
I used to occasionally play with Apple2Win, but that emulator is ancient and outdated. Plus it annoyed me because you could only use it for about 15 minutes before it would freeze and demand you register your copy.

Why you don't just play "Dig Fight" on MAME?

Because I have finished it already?

I thought that basilisk was the hot apple2 emu these days. At least I remember people using it to play chu-teng.

That was Apple Mac, not Apple II. Separate platforms by the same company.
Lode Runner is better on the Apple II and PC where you had two button joysticks and just had to tap one of them to dig left or right while the one button sticks on the C64 and Atari 800 require you to face in the direction you want to dig.

IDK they had it on the PC
This is my favourite version of Lode Runner.
I don't know what it is about it but it always sat very well with me.
