Road Runner
Robot Gyro [later released as "Gyromite"]
Road Runner: Publisher: Tengen.
Year: 1989. Difficulty: Hard. Graphics: Good.
This game is so much fun! It completely captures the spirit of the Warner Bros. Road Runner cartoon shorts! You are the Road Runner, forever escaping the clutches of Wile E. Coyote. Your thumb will get quite a workout playing this game, maybe even sore. Wile E. will try to catch you using every type of device possible. While avoiding him, you must collect all the piles of bird seed you can. You can also trick Wile E. into his own traps and have him get run over by trucks. One catch is that you can only run on roads, while Wile E. can run anywhere. Sometimes this works for you, sometimes it works against you. It's a simple-to-play game with few rules, but you'll be surprised how much strategy you'll have to use to avoid Wile E. Coyote! A must-play for any Road Runner cartoon fan!
