Quadrun is a video game for the Atari 2600 developed by Steve Woita and published in 1983 by Atari, Inc.[1] One of the four Atari Club games available exclusively via mail order, this title may have been available later in stores in very limited quantities. Only approximately 10,000 cartridges were initially made. Quadrun is the first Atari 2600 game with voice synthesis ("Quadrun! Quadrun! Quadrun!"); the only other is Open Sesame, made by Bit Corp.[3][4][5]
Gameplay
The object of Quadrun is to destroy enemies ("captors") and rescue friendly characters ("runts") who are attempting to escape from the arena's central building. The player character is invincible, but has only a limited supply of their weapon, an energy ball that destroys the enemies on contact.
The game is a series of waves of enemy characters.
