Hi,

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me the name of this game from my childhood.
It's an old mac game probably from the 90's and it's in 2D. The gameplay was to run around from cops and shoot at the ground to make a hole and the cops would fall into the hole. The hole would close and they would die. I think they were cops not sure, and you were a robber i think. I do remember they could crawl up the hole and get you. The idea it was to not get touched. I don't remember if the cops could shoot. I think the characters were simply stickmen. You could only shoot at the floor, I clearly remember that.

Here's a picture of how the game looks in my head.

Sounds like Lode Runner to me...I played this shit out of that game when I was young.

Bah, Lode Runner isn't even all that rare, heck it's still being sold today in various rehashed forms. I was hoping for something like Power Pete.

There were upgraded versions of it and it wasn't only for the mac, for the record.

This thread brought up memories and reminds me of another MAC game from the 90's.
You are a guy in a swivel chair and could push yourself with a kick against walls. There were robots trying to kill you and it was an office enviroment I think.
Does anyone know this game?

Haha, Lode Runner gave me many frustrated hours back in the day

And the bricks are regenerative... This is hardcore technology we are talking... Probably also some quantic shit as you can fall through holes and monks can't.
This game taught me to be violent and cruel. You can stand on the top of those monks when they are in the hole until bricks regenerate, it will give you great pleasure. Muahahah
