Released in 1985 by Loriciels and originally released in France, Infernal Runner is a multi-screen platformer arcade-adventure comparable to Montezuma's Revenge. The game features exceptional sprite animation and visual variety, with the touches of animation so extraordinary that unexpected chaos can happen to your character—or nothing at all, depending on your speed. Three fantastic sci-fi style tunes accompany the action with music that stands as a highlight of the experience. The non-linear house exploration creates compelling puzzle-adventure gameplay that keeps players engaged. While the controls require some mastery and certain object functions appear cryptic at first, the elevated gameplay and variety reward exploration and persistence. An essential puzzle experience with high replay value that captures the spirit of classic arcade platforming adventure.
