Tunnel Runner

Atari 2600

1983CBS Electronics, CBS

CBS Electronics’ 1983 first-person maze by Richard K. Balaska Jr.: find the key, beat the timer, and dodge Zots. GAME1 is fixed levels; GAME2 randomizes mazes.

Collector note

RAM Plus cartridge with 256 extra bytes of RAM, like Mountain King and Omega Race.

Facts

Higher levels add faster Zots that can pass through walls, called Zot magic in the manual. Teleport doors and previous-level doors are hazards.
No turning animation, so it is easy to become disoriented.
