Ladder is a clone of Donkey Kong but written for the CP/M operating system. The screens on these computers only accept text characters and not full blown graphics. The games use letter, numbers, and symbols lined up to create walls and platforms, characters, and goals.
The floors in Ladder are made of equal signs and the Ladders are made of capital "H"s stacked on top of each other. The "lad" controlled by the player starts out as the letter "P" and barrels ("der rocks") are represented by "o"s.
Ladder was written by Yahoo Software of Los Angeles, CA.
