Key points

Game setup won't always start from the autoplay launcher, but it can be started from the root folder of the CD without trouble on Windows 7 x32/x64 and later.
Has a powerful map editor.
Many community made maps and two bonus levels from the original developer team are available for download at http://entropymine.com/jason/lr/lr2/
There are a few unsupported levels added to the CD at the last minute, also by the original developer team. They are on the CD at: examples/BetaLVLs
Game is being rewritten for modern systems by an independent developer team that rewrote previous game(s) in the Lode Runner franchise, and (as of 2021) is in the beginning stages. Updates on the process can be followed at https://www.quarkrobot.com/tag/lr2/

Audio settings

Game music will only be available if the CD is in the drive. If the optical drive letter is not set to be the first in order (or a virtual drive is used), music will loop and start from the beginning every time a game is started or a new map is loaded. The only solution is to change the drive letter of the CD drive in windows settings, but even after doing so, in-game music volume control won't work and will show a driver error on Windows 7 and later.
