      What are your favorites?

      My choice would have to be Tyrian. I wish more developers would work on such ports (I want Lode Runner!).

      My favorite ports are:
      The Simpsons Arcade (More like a reboot due to updated graphics and homer is the only playable character)
      Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
      Monkey Island Special Edition.
      TG16 Gamebox
      Capcom Arcade
      Also, at one point there was a lode runner port on the AppStore but it got pulled.

      Tower Runner
      Gold Runner

      Hope those satisfy your Lode Runner needs :)

      Also, Glypha is a fantastic Joust clone. The controls are great. It's free, too.
