Reception
Lode Runner's Rescue was positively received by press, including Ahoy!, ANALOG Computing, Atari Explorer, and Commodore Magazine which described it a surprise hit. Computer Gaming World praised the Atari version's graphics but asked "How likely is it that a game with girls, mice, cats, and magic mushrooms should be called Lode Runner's Rescue?" It speculated that the publisher put the series name on an unrelated game.
