Gorfy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Nifty game, kind of like Escape From the Mindmaster, though not as much variety and fun as EFTM. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE MANUAL! Also, check out the thread from when it was previously played in the HSC........ http://atariage.com/...-tunnel-runner/ I'm not very good at map games, but here's my first submission anyways: Score: 1,581 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Very interesting game. I never played it and I think I'm going to like it. 1) 1,505 (06/22) It's my very first time score on this game! 2) 3,391 3) 4,915 4) 7,540 (06/27) 5) 14,386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 2883 Never played this before, but I like it. There is a lot to learn on this one. I've already decided to always double-level jump from 4 to 6, because there is a Zot at the beginning of level 5 that I can't seem to avoid any other way. For this score, I finished on level 8. .

classicgamer_27330 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 lol bonus to be serious 1488, no pic question: If our score is both divisible by 2, and 3, (e.g 6, 12, or any number divisible by 6, do we get 5 bonus points 2+3?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 @classicgamer I knew someone was going to ask that. No. Sorry. Either 2 or 3 bonus points possible. Not 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'll be away from my Atari for the next 3-4 weeks. What a shame - I will have to resort to... emulation if I don't want to totally lose the mediocre rank I am so proud of :-). Not that I expect great achievements with keyboard controls, but a few points here and there should be in it for me. Anything in particular I should know about Stella before I give in and cheat on my beloved console with a slim laptop bitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in particular I should know about Stella before I give in and cheat on my beloved console with a slim laptop bitch? Pick up a cheap USB gamepad. You'll be much happier than trying to use keyboard controls for most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Nifty game, kind of like Escape From the Mindmaster, though not as much variety and fun as EFTM. Escape From The Mindmaster (EFTM) and Tunnel Runner (EFTM style) I HATE playing. This week I will NOT participate. I will wait for the next week. See my statement about EFTM after my ELIMINATION on 2600 HSC Knockout 2012. And looks like I helped lower ranked players on Season 9 of the old 2600 HSC, Week 15 (EFTM), submitting my score once (057).

Gorfy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 made it to Run 10.......... Score: 4,856 Scrabbler's advice to skip Run 5 is an excellent tip, even if it takes you longer to complete Run 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Fun Game! Those 'keys' look like piles of poop. Vocelli: 3102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Fun Game! Those 'keys' look like piles of poop. I'm constantly picking up my dogs' "keys" in the backyard and on walks. I guess I've been playing an in vitro version of Tunnel Runner all this time without even knowing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 How many 3d maze games are there for the 2600? Escape from the Mind Master (which I love and is one reason I'm searching for a supercharger). Tunnel Runner (I didn't know this game until now!) Skeleton+ (a homebrew I played just a little) Are there others? And a small improvement here: 3,391 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 5606 Found the door for Run 10, but didn't have the key. Then I found the key, but couldn't find my way back to the door. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zeptari Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Like S.BAZ said. I gotta read the directions for this one I really like it. Tried it when I first got my Harmony cart. Almost like playing an action version of dungeon master. I like it alot. I'd like to see a "beefed" up harmony edition of this game. Anyways my first real run at it: 1717 Run5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
