Ghost Runner

Somewhere in the ethereal depths of digital doom, a single guy/gal is left with a shattering responsibility tottering on his/her shoulders. He must vaporize as many icky green ghosts as possible in under a minute. By running over them. As in 'running', not as in 'running over with a transportational device'. Yes, you see it has to do with intermeshing inertial fields and whatnot -- but the technicalities are a bunch of lies, so I won't bother you with 'em. So play Ghostrunner 1 and experience the standard in video games: oh, I see, you hafta blow 'em all up as quick as ya can. Sounds fun. And remember, its a healthy alternative to watching TV, 'cause on a computer you actually control what you see. (This programmer notices an exception: an unusually high number of those, well, non-Mac computers seem to actually control the user rather than vice versa. I hope this doesn't mean the majority of the computer-literate human populace voluntarily accepts working with an illogical unintuitive interfaces.) Anyway, I hope you like this game as much as I do. For more information, read an encyclopedia. For more information relevant to Ghostrunner, download it and look at the 'about' screen. Then play it and appreciate the pleasant wonder of nice sprite animation.
