Well, it would have been a nice surprise but it seems there was a miscue on the pricing when
Lode Runner came out. It was announced 1200 points, then showed up at 800 points, then bumped back up to 1200 points. You can read on
Major Nelson's blog the excitement turned to anger from the comments before and after the point change. Yeah, I'd be a little mad too and I think they should keep it at 800 points. But that's just me.
