Rimrunner

Rimrunner is a video game in the action genre developed by Palace Software, Ltd. and published by Palace Software, Ltd. originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

A race of insectoids roam the galaxy and colonize uninhabited and long dead planets. Force shields were created to protect their planets from constant arachnoid attacks. The force shield generators need to be recharged regularly, a task for which a group of elite insectoid warriors was created. Riding their reptiles (Runners) they patrol the colonies, recharging the generators and destroying any hostile life forms that have penetrated the shield.

Players have to guide one of these warriors through the horizontally scrolling levels, shooting hostile life forms and searching for shield generators that need recharging. A radar at the top of the screen shows the player's position, as well as the position and status of the shield generators. Green generators are stable, flashing ones are unstable and red ones need to be recharged. Enemy attacks deplete the warrior's health and can knock him off his corridor. On foot, the warrior is much slower and cannot walk much (the levels stop moving), but it is necessary to dismount the Runner to be able to recharge the generators.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
