Game: 3-D Battles of World Runner, The

3-D Worldrunner is a rather obvious Space Harrier clone. It features some innovative graphics for its time, and is a forward-scrolling obstacle course with a boss fight after every 4 levels. The main problem is that it really not necessarily fun. You cannot always see how wide a pit is before you try to jump it, and 1 touch from most enemies will kill. There is some challenge involved in trying to memorize how long one must hold down the jump button or what pattern the enemies will exhibit, but it is highly unlikely that players will have fun in this process. It was best when compared to very primitive games of its time, but even then it was not among the best games available to console players.
