Robot Runner is a challenging game of speed and skill which is designed to give children of six years and above practice in the two to nine times tables.

The object of the game is to help Robot Runner in his quest to retrieve the treasures of Endor which lie on the far side of the dreaded number ways of Andron.

Crossing these involve solving a series of multiplication sums. The child has to work out the answer, and, pressing 7 and 6, increase or decrease the value displayed to the correct value before moving Robot Runner onto the first number way.

And there's a catch. On the number ways are things looking rather like spiders doing cartwheels. Bump into one of those and you have to start again.

To reach the treasures from the last number way you have to guide Robot Runner into a treasure cove without hitting a wall (and still keeping a look-out for those spiders!).

A nicely thought and original game, with superb graphics and good use of sound, Robot Runner should give hours of constructive pleasure. My eight year old thought it was great.
