Sure. What do you want to know?

The original "Lode Runner for PC" (in CGA) and the original-taken-from-Atari400 "Super Boulder Dash", by Peter Liepa and Electronic Arts (in EGA) can run under Win3.1 and Win95a, which still has a true DOS-session architecture. I doubt you can run either of these under Win95b+ or Win98 or NT though.

Also, you'd probably need a CPU slow-down program like Mo'Slo to play the games at a reasonable speed. There are also emulators for c64 games that run on PCs, but I've never tried them.

But if you want to see what Lode Runner could be like, as stunningly adapted to the PC, then get "Lode Runner: The Legend Returns", published by Dynamix/Presage. It's totally ace, as Paul says. Even better than the original.
