Stun Runner

Copyright : Domark | Reviewed by : Patrick Furlong

Take control of a strange looking ship and race through a 3D enviroment with tunnels, speed enhancing stars and shoot your way to the finish with completly smooth animation and brilliant graphics. Well, it applies to the arcade version. Amstrad Action didn?t think much of the CPC version, so what do I think. Well, I think they tried their best..

Graphics

MODE 0 is used for this game. There isn?t a lot of detail here, but the graphics are fast. They did their best to replicate the look of the arcade machine, but I think they skimmed on detail to keep the game at a respectable speed.

Sound

Annoying music inbetween levels and even more annoying sound-effects in game.

Gameplay

At first it grips you and you want to try again, but after a while, you just don?t want too. The game plays very well but the lack of graphic detail is distracting.

Overall:

An OK game. The programmers did try their best with the limitations of the faithful CPC. Maybe making the graphics MODE 1 might have helped a little.
