S.T.U.N. Runner

Breakneck speeds, beautiful graphics, cool music, smooth voices, and superb control are the characteristics of STUN Runner. Had it been released on the other consoles, I'm sure that the Lynx version would have blown them away regardless. So, if you're looking to play STUN Runner at home, this is the only game in town. (Not to mention, the best!)

The game is extremely repetitive, but it's well worth playing. One of the best racing games on a portable ... even if it's not a portable, per se. If you can find it, pick S.T.U.N. Runner up, it's well worth your money.

All in all, STUN Runner looks good, runs fast, and is the best futuristic racing game on the Lynx. If you enjoyed the sci-fi thrills of the Wipeout series, you can't go wrong with a blast through STUN Runner's tunnels.

The challenge is well-paced, as the gamer can select level 1, 6, or 12 right from the start. Three continues allow you to re-start a course you couldn't finish. Take note, however, that everything always happens in the same sequence, making memorization an important part of mastery. S.T.U.N. Runner is in my opinion the best game for the Lynx since Blue Lightning, and that's saying a lot.

Wer den Automaten mochte, darf zugreifen. Es gibt keine bessere Heimversion. Allzu intelligent ist das Spielprinzip allerdings nicht. Lobenswert: die Sprachausgabe.

You've done some Hard Drivin', but have you tried 900mph speed racing in the 21st century's Spread Tunnel Underground Network Runner? Taking on all contenders and the tightest of time limits you race through the 24 tunnel networks, the twists and turns getting wilder and crazier with each new level. The Runner is initially unarmed but progression sees wing pods added and lasers for disposing of annoying drones and mag cycles that can slow you down. Avoid the armoured drones though; they're indestructible.

Even the Amiga isn't capable of performing well under so much polygon-pressure. And while all of the coin-op elements have been included, the game's appeal has been sapped by the snail-like graphics. It does offer a few minutes of entertainment as you work out your optimum route for each stage, but from then on, it goes downhill rapidly. The Audio is okay, with decent speech offering encouragement along the way. But on the whole, S.T.U.N. Runner is a disappointing release.

Ich kann mir nicht helfen, aber Stun Runner geht jeglicher Witz ab: Der genervte Spieler rutscht mit einer Art schaumgebremsten Isetta über Glatteis, drückt dann und wann lustlos den Feuerknopf und versucht krampfhaft, nicht einzudösen. Legt man das Gefährt falsch in die Kurve (die man natürlich vorher nicht sehen kann), steuert sich die Kiste wie auf einer Meile Sandpapier. Auf dem Amiga ist Stun Runner so langsam, als liefe das Spiel in Zeitlupe, auf dem C 64 fühlt man sich an die ersten Sprite-Experimente von 1985 erinnert. Die Rasanz des Automatenvorbildes wird nicht annähernd erreicht.

The music isn't entirely crap. Hopelessly slow, graphically primitive, terminal lack of excitement. We'd rather see a great conversion of Galaxians than someone make a pig's ear of a game they knew they couldn't convert in the first place.
