Tube Runner
- Tube Runner (1988 on Commodore 16, Plus/4)
Description
Tube Runner features gameplay inspired by Pac-Man. You control a small robot whose main objective is to gather up all the nuts, bolts and tools scattered around a pipe maze. However, the maze is also inhabited by parasites, called Pipe Dwellers. They come in three different colors (blue, green, red) and will kill the robot if they touch it. Your only chance is to pick up a battery which will render the dwellers vulnerable for a few seconds, and chase them away from the maze by touching them with your lightning rod.
The collected items add different numbers of points to the score. After all of them are picked up from the maze, you advance to a more difficult level.
