Lode Runner 3-D came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, developed by Big Bang. It was part of that wave of late 90s 3D platformers trying to translate classic 2D ideas into a new dimension. The shift to a polygonal world was a common experiment on the N64, and this game was one of those attempts.

You control a runner navigating isometric, maze-like levels. Your main goal is to collect all the gold scattered around each stage while avoiding or outsmarting the enemy guards. Your primary tool is a laser that can blast holes in the floor, creating traps for your pursuers or carving out new paths to reach otherwise inaccessible ledges. The game progresses screen by screen, with each level presenting a self-contained puzzle of platforming and evasion. The pacing is deliberate, often requiring you to stop and plan your route carefully as the guards relentlessly chase you. It feels like a tense game of cat and mouse where you are constantly modifying the environment to survive.
