How to Play

Runner v1.0

How to Play:

You have run out of fuel and are stranded on a strange planet and must negotiate your way through a variety of levels to escape to the planet surface.

The only way to transverse from level to level is to trigger all of the red control lights to a green [ON].  Exit through the doorway appears when the last control light is turned on.  The enemy runner, meanwhile will attempt to thwart your efforts by turning the control lights back to [OFF] and by trying to catch you.

You may use any telepods you collect to teleport the enemy runner away from you.  But, you may only use one telepod at a time.  Drop them in the path of the enemy runner.

Music and Sound

Music and Sound:

Using Music and Sound capabilities in the program requires that you possess a Windows compatible sound board and have installed the manufacturer's supplied drivers to support Windows WAVE and MIDI.

If you can play WAV and MIDI files outside of the game, using the Windows Media Player applet, the game will play music and produce sounds correctly.

If you can here the sounds, but the music will not play, check to be sure you have installed all of the required drivers using the Control Panel Drivers applet.

Below is an example of the drivers required when using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster.
