- RackRunner is a German version of an old classic game. Unfortunately the
- old classic game I am talking about has escaped my mind and I can't remember
- its name for the life of me.

- The game is also a little like the Amiga game PPHammer in which you took the
- role of PPHammer and had to bash through blocks, if I remember correctly
- you had a certain length of time before these blocks regenerated and came
- back. This is exactly the same case for RackRunner.

- As I am writing this review it comes to me attention that I think the game
- I am trying to remember the name of was called Blode Runner but I could
- be mistaken so don't hold me to that.
- {p} {p}
- Anyway enough of my rambling... on with the game. You take the role of a little
- person who has to run around inside this pyramid collecting what looks like
- crosses. The game isn't as easy as it sounds because some are hidden away
- in other parts of the pyramid and the only way to access them is by throwing
- your bomb things which remove the block directly infront/below you. You cannot
- move more than one away so you have to be careful the way you get to the
- cross otherwise you could get stuck and when the block regenerates you will
- get sqashed and killed.
- {p} {p}
- That is the whole idea of the game. It is very challenging and will keep
- you puzzlers entertained for a long time, it has that classic feel and look
- and is quite difficult. So difficult in fact I didn't get past the first
- level.

- Again this game is in German only as far as I can see so for you that don't
- speak a word of German, F1 is for one player, F2 is for two players and
- ESC will quit the game.
