    Let me take a moment to clear up a possible misunderstanding before it
starts.

    Several of you have downloaded the Gold Runner 2000 Announcement file.
Several days ago I was perusing a computer gaming magazine and found an ad for
something called "Lode Runner: The Adventure Returns," I believe it was named.
I want anyone who sees that ad to realize that Gold Runner 2000 in no way,
shape or form resembles this other new version of the old classic. I'd thought
that I had an original idea there. I had no idea someone else was doing the
same thing. Anyway, in my terribly biased opinion, the new Lode Runner doesn't
resemble the old game  at all. In fact, if it weren't for the name, I wouldn't
have made the connection. Gold Runner 2000, on the other hand, is clearly
recognizable as descended from Lode Runner, while still being entirely superior
to the original.
