Hello everyone!
I stumbled upon this forum recently and I thought it would be good place to ask about it here.
Anyway, I passed all 150 Levels except I couldn't figure out how to pass the 86 Level. It's the one where the brick pieces read DGC. Under the letter D, there is a box that's hidden under the bricks, which is practically impossible to get without becoming trapped in an enclosed space. I know you're supposed to get it last, but no extra ladders appears near that space so you could get out.
would be very interested to hear the solution.

Well in the speed-modified version I have, you can skip levels.

you allways could skip levels in it... completing so many levels in a certain range unlocks the next set of levels... thus allowing you to skip some if so desired...

that might be hard to do if he is playing in true DOS.

It means I don't have the same version of Loar Runner. Bummer! The only game you could skip levels that I have is supaplex. It doesn't work with Xp not even in DOSBox. That's why I got Winplex.

For the piece your looking at, have you tried the following:
Shoot out the top left brick waiting till its nearly grown back then shot the two bricks below it by standing on the ladder & then once that top piece has grown back run over & shot the brick above fall down & run through before that bottom brick reappears.

Oh shit that works. Never thought about it that way. Thanks.
