I loved this game. First off, there were no guns so when you spotted a Zot, there was pretty much one option - shit yourself out of fear and try to run the opposite direction.
The game itself was amazingly creepy, after a certain level the Zots got amazingly quick, you got quicker too but that just meant you could collide with them faster. After a certain level up the game just started generating random mazes and weird characters sometimes appeared on the doors and in the mazes.
I bought this game brand new for 10 bucks at a department store called Maloneys which had previously been called S-mart.....kinda like K-mart. Anyways, this was the best Atari game ever. Farthest I ever got was run 42.
I don't have the box but I still have this game. Unfortunately, I somehow lost the manual to it. This is very unusual for me, as all my Atari manuals were kept together.
In any case, Tunnel Runner was always one of my favorites. After seeing the great 3D effect, I bought Crypts of Chaos from Fox. The 3D effect was so bad you could never tell where the corners or intersections were!
Only thing that would have made TR better would have been a different image for the back of the creatures.
That depends on whether the Windows port was written by Microsoft or not. If it was, there probably won't be any machines capable of running it at full speed for at least another 5 years. :)
Is this, in fact, the greatest person in a video game advertisement ever? I did not think anything could beat the Garfunkel clone in that Zelda commercial.
The Atari 2600 has 128 bytes of RAM built into the console. The Tunnel Runner, Omega Race, and Mountain King carts each have 256 bytes built in. Tripling the available RAM allows for better games.
BTW, Solaris, Millipede, Dig Dug, and some other games have 128 bytes built in. BurgerTime has 2,048 bytes of RAM built in(!)
I actually have this catridge. Was the only atari game I played even when I got my NES. I've noticed the emulator lists it as rare...and I distinctly remember getting it in a 2-dollar bargain bin at KB toys when I was 7 ;)
When he said "He's fast. I gotta be faster!" I heard "Jesus Christ, I gotta be faster!"

You will need to over clock your processor to 133Mhz to comply with RAM+ Specs, The L2 Cache is just way too quick for you.

The weirdest thing about this game is how smoothly it runs. I remember playing NES first-person games that weren't half as smooth as Tunnel Runner.

It makes them look more like games. With the old pixel-y graphics and bleep sounds. ^^
I dont like that much these new Playstation 2 or X box games. Maybe only few of them are good, and its a shame :(
