Time Runner is a game in which the player goes around the edges of 20 rectangular boxes on a checker board playing area to stake each one out as territory.[3]
Reception
Dick McGrath reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Time Runner may hold out some challenge to nimble-fingered whiz kids, but in my book it only rates about a 5 out of a possible 10 for arcade games."[3]
