S.T.U.N. Runner

S.T.U.N. Runner was produced by Atari Games in 1989.

You are a S.T.U.N. Runner doing time trials. Shoot or avoid other vehicles that hinder you while driving the optimal path for best speed. The Shockwave will destroy all adversaries on the screen and the Boost pads give you invulnerability while increasing your speed.

You are shown the layout of each track at the start of each heat, including locations of Shockwaves and Boost Pads. Shockwaves can also be earned by collecting the number of Stars indicated at the start of each heat. Armoured Drones are indestructable excepting the use of a Shockwave. Some tunnels are under constuction and slow you down considerably if you do not take the optimal path. The shoulders on outdoor portions of the track wear down your shields as well as slow you down. The Ultimate Race is to get farther along the last track than any previous S.T.U.N. Runner. The names of the previous players mark the end distance they achieved.

Your vehicle automatically accelerates; you turn the yoke left and right to steer. Tilt the yoke forward and back to aim the roof mounted weapon up or down and press the triggers to fire. Press the Start button to release a Shockwave.
