RUNNER (Spectrum)

by A Wilkinson

from Sinclair User 20 (November 1983)



STEER your Runner round the board with the usual cursor keys, avoiding the

ghosts which are determined to steal your power. They will always move

towards you but cannot move through the purple blocking squares. Run through

the energy squares to gain power but do not lead the ghosts through them or

they will eat them.

You gain 100 points for running through an energy square, lose one point for

each move, lose 50 points for running through a purple square, and gain bonus

points for progressing to a new board. A new board can be reached by moving

into the top left-hand corner.

The program was written for the 16K Spectrum by A Wilkinson of Chingford,

London. All underlined letters should be entered in graphics mode.
