Time Runner (video game)
Time Runner is a maze video game, similar to Konami's Amidar arcade game, published by Funsoft in 1981. It was written for the TRS-80 by Yves who also wrote a version for Atari 8-bit computers released the same year.[1] A port to the Commodore 64 by Scott Maxwell and Troy Lyndon was published in 1983.[2] GameplayTime Runner is a game in which the player goes around the edges of 20 rectangular boxes on a checkerboard playing area to claim one as territory.[3] ReceptionDick McGrath in Computer Gaming World stated that "Time Runner may hold out some challenge to nimble-fingered whiz kids, but in my book it only rates about a 5 out of a possible 10 for arcade games".[3] 80 Micro's Eric Maloney said that the TRS-80 version of the game was the best from Funsoft. He approved of its simple but challenging and non-violent gameplay suitable for children, albeit describing it as repetitive.[4] Comparing it to "the old arcade flop" Amidar, R. J. Michaels of Ahoy! enjoyed Time Runner for Commodore 64 despite the "uninspiring" graphics and "familiar" gameplay.[5] See alsoReferences
