Retro Review #3 "The 3-D Battles of World Runner"

Ok, third times a charm. Here we have "The 3-D Battles of World Runner", from... Square? The same Square that gave us Final Fantasy? Oh man this is going to be awesome!
Wrong. Sucks. I have no manual for this game but even a traditionally epic Square story line could not save this pile of wasted silicon. I am guessing you play the part of World Runner as you take part in 3-D Battles. Well mostly you run forward on a auto scrolling checkerboard world towards what looks like giant stacks of ham with wings jumping over pits and avoiding smiling green balls. I actually played this piece of shit twice hoping against hope to find a redeeming quality in there and I came up with: you can jump for a very long distance and there is minimal flicker. Good job Square, stick to the RPG from now on.
