Play Hudson Best Collection Vol. 2 : Lode Runner Collection Online

Hudson Best Collection Vol. 2: Lode Runner Collection came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, a time when compilations of classic games were common on the handheld. Hudson Soft bundled two versions of the game, offering a straightforward and portable way to revisit a puzzle series from the 1980s.

You control a small character who must collect all the gold on each single-screen stage while avoiding guards. You dig holes to temporarily trap enemies or to drop through the environment, but you must move quickly as the dirt reforms after a few seconds. The objective is to grab every piece of loot and reach the exit, all while outmaneuvering increasingly clever patrol patterns. Later stages demand precise timing and strategic planning, often under tight time pressure. It feels satisfying to set a trap just right and slip past a guard with no room to spare.
