Atari Lynx. The graphics are amazingly good. It doesn't run at the speed of the arcade, but it's damn close. What is lost in the detail is made up in the speed, and when it's going fast you never really notice what you're missing from the arcade.

About this product

Product Information

Welcome, Stun Runner!<br><br>The ultimate race of all time has begun. Can you pilot your high-speed hovercraft through a series of tubes in excess of five hundred miles per hour? It all comes down to your quick reflexes, street-smarts, and racing skills. <br><br>Based on the arcade hit from Tengen, Stun Runner pushes the Lynx's hardware to the max. Super-fast sprite scaling and rotation equal a high-speed race that will take your breath away. Be sure to follow the red stars that have been left on the track - they mark the fastest way to the finish line, and in the world of Stun Runner, a tenth of a second can be the difference between glory and defeat. Keep your eyes on the jumps, and always be aware of the mega-destructive ShockWave powerup, that will wipe out your opponents in a matter of seconds.<br><br>For hand-held hovercraft racing along the lines of the Playstation's Wipeout, there's no denying that Stun Runner on the Lynx delivers.

  • Ambitious title for a little Lynx Handheld.

    The rating Is more for the packaging, condition, and speedy shipment. This game was purchased so I could have a physical Lynx cart and it was mentioned as one of the carts to get. The package quality was great and everything was in order. As a game, for its time, it is a pretty ambitious product for a portable system. So as for gameplay, you have to get used to it running slow by today's standards. Because of that, it can be a little finicky to control the craft particularly in tubes, but this is a port from a much more powerful arcade unit, which also did not run by today's smooth standards. So there is no expecting 30fps or 60fps gameplay, or even 20fps. This is a 3D rollercoaster ride from an early era and they did a lot to make it playable on a Lynx.

  • Beautiful looking, plays OK

    This is a port of Atari's STUN Runner arcade machine, and for a Portable version of the arcade game it is brilliant. However the game itself isn't very fun and it gets boring quite quickely

  • Great game

    I have played this game since it came out back in 1991. Great game that plays very similar to the arcade original and that is the problem. What works for quarter based games in the arcade shouldn’t be exactly the same for home video games. The home version should at least be playable since the game is payed for.
