Didn't even think about Lode Runner, but holy shit, "The Legend Returns"/"Mad Monks Revenge" is one of my favorite games ever. Oh, and it's free.

Just remembered Jetpack for DOS. I used to love that game and I had a great time with the level creator many years ago. It's also free these days.
It's basically Lode Runner with a jetpack.

Why is all this loderunner discussion taking place? It really is nothing like Donkey Kong.

Along the vein of Lode Runner is also the game Jetpack, which is a puzzle platformer and is a blast to play.
Some days I feel invisible.

I think Gunstar Green meant that he remembered Jetpack because you mentioned it.

Sure let's go with that and not that I'm both forgetful and lazy.

"To be specific these are games that:
- consist of one-screen platforming stages
- generally have a goal of reaching some area of the screen (like the top) or to collect a set number of items before proceeding
- loop after a certain number of levels"
Seems to meet criteria besides the last.
