Emerald Mine is supposedly more like "BoulderDash" (tm.)  Owners of this
game correct me as necessary.  

If you really want "LodeRunner" (also probably tm) try a clone called
"PopMan".  I have only seen a demo of it but it looks every bit as good
as "LodeRunner" and the graphics are a tad better.  Note that I have no
affiliation with its author other than that I was impressed by the demo.

"PopMan" is being marketed by the author.  Last I saw it was $20 a pop
(so to speak) and the demo distribution includes an address to which you
may send your money.  No, I don't have that address handy.

Another former LodeRunner addict who just hasn't gotten around to
mailing in that $20,
