In Goldrunner, a vertically scrolling shooter, earth has to be evacuated because of the damage caused by environmental pollution. Unfortunately the space ships have to pass through the world of Triton - and the inhabitants are unfriendly. So the obvious solution is to destroy the rings, huge space stations. A full frontal attack is without a change of success because the rings have to be destroyed from within. So the player is chosen to man a small space ship to do the job. Every ring has a certain amount of energy which has to be reduced by destroying everything inside. Of course the Tritons won't give up without a fight, but touching the enemies won't hurt the space ship (it hurts them): the only way to die is by touching enemy mines (the ship can take up to five hits) or by flying against a high, indestructible building (instant death). The ship also has a turbo boost function and between levels there are bonus rounds which are used to rack up points for the high score list.
You work nights at an afterlife telephone exchange. The living ring in wanting to speak to someone who died. They never say the name. They say "my late mother, the one I miss most at Christmas," and then they wait. Ten case files sit on your desk. Four of those ghosts are on the line tonight. One of them liked snowmen and family gatherings. Work out which caller wants which ghost, then get up out of your chair and carry the plug across the floor to their socket yourself. The lines can't cross on the floor. Anchor posts lift one over another. The wiring is old, and if you hold too many live lines at once the breaker goes and you're patching in the dark until you find the frequency again. Eight nights. Three strikes each. Nobody is in a hurry - the callers have all the time there is.
You are an interactive humanoid composed of Titanium fleximetal and other organic materials, first built in 3642 AD - nicknamed 'JUG' because of your barrel chested profile which can transform into many different shapes and reform instantaneously. The task is simple- This is your 14th Tour of Duty and within the living core of the Planet Spiraeus, is a deadly virus causing its brain to malfunction and all the inner sanctums to die as the life force is diminished. This planet is divided into four zones, each of which has four sectors. Trap doors in the floor and holes in the roof will enable you to move up or down a level. You must find and destroy the deadly 'tumor' within the deepest parts of the planet, before it becomes an empty shell drifting in the depths of Space and Time. Warning!- The planet's immune system will see the Jug as a hostile and alien body so you will be attacked by the defense system of the very planet that you are trying to save! Vital equipment will be transported into the planet along your proposed trajectory to help you in your quest, and fuel pods will be available throughout the game. But take heed, the problems will really start when you have reached the source of the disaster... With be-directional scrolling, parallax scrolling and the most stunning graphics possible on the Amiga, you must surely agree that JUG is a game that no one should be without.
