GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA
A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Subway Runner waits for your next move: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
GAME BRIEFADVENTURE & RPG
What you are getting into
In Subway Runner the player is taking the role of Jim, a teenager who spends all of his free time on the streets of a huge metropolis. He and his friends are often engaged in such activities as drawing graffiti and skateboarding – usually while running away from the ever-vigilant policemen. Your main goal in this game is to run away from them as long as possible while drawing as many graffiti as you can. Police cars are fast, but you must be faster. Navigate your path through the intricately tangled mess of the streets of the metropolis and try your best to avoid relentless cops who are fed up with your graffiti. You will meet a lot of various obstacles on the streets, such as police cars blocking the roadway or a bunch of crates left by negligent workers. To continue your race you’ll have to overcome these obstacles by jumping, turning on the left or on the right and diving under them. Collect coins and secrets along the way and become the living legend of the urban streets.
