Hack description

This is Nintendo's lode runner. Now he got shoot ability, that destroy bricks and kill
enemies.
- To shoot you need take some quantity heaps of gold.
- Ammo quantity locate in up right corner of screen.
- For 1 gold you get 1 bullet. Bullets accumulate up to nine.
- If bullets quantity more than 0 - you can shoot by press SELECT button.
- Shooting direction depend from last moving direction of lode runner.
- If you gonna kill enemy, who obtain 1 gold - you get his gold immediately.
- For shooting action it used "battle city" shooting sounds.

Some comments about select button:
- Now you can change stage number be on black screen between stages/before next stage.
- You can't change stage number be inside stage.

Some bugs:
-by use fceux 2.2.2 you can hear infinite fizz sound when you kill enemy. - it's very rare
-when you shoot to mob of 3 enemy, bullet can disappear. - here you observe nintendo limit:place more than 8 sprite in line(here nine) cutting off odd(you can fix it by options of emulator like "no sprite limit" or "allow more 8 sprites per line")
-by use fceux 2.2.2 in some cases lode runner become invisible. - it's very rare
-when you press select button on you own construction stage process - game may glitch.
-when you load you previous save - lode runner can delve a pit. - its quite frequent.

Game tested with:
nestopia,
virtuaNes 0.97,
Fceux 2.2.2

A real game changer!NesDraug2019-06-18Version 1.0

I've always wanted to be able to shoot the enemies in this game. Now you can!

To use the select button to fire is a good choice. I've always found it odd that you could change level in the middle of the original game.
