Atomic Runner Game

Game cover
Atomic Runner for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive is a fast-paced, side-scrolling shooter that throws you into a chaotic, futuristic world where reflexes and firepower are your best friends. Imagine blasting through waves of bizarre robotic enemies with a slick, high-speed dash—your character moves like a hyperactive pinball, bouncing off walls and dodging attacks with a satisfying sense of momentum. The game’s vibrant, slightly surreal art style and relentless action make it stand out, feeling like a wild mashup of Contra and Strider, but with its own quirky charm.

Originally released as Chelnov in Japan (based on a manga series), Atomic Runner brings that same frenetic energy but with a Westernized twist. The controls take a minute to master—your character slides and dashes with a unique physics feel—but once it clicks, it’s pure adrenaline. Whether you’re a retro gaming enthusiast or just love old-school shooters with personality, this one’s a hidden gem that deserves a spot in your Genesis lineup. Just don’t blame us if you get addicted to its chaotic, high-speed chaos!
