Labyrinth Runner is the latest release in Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines of emulated coin-op titles, following on from last week’s release of Bomb Jack Twin, on which we previously reported.
Originally released into arcades by Konami in 1988, Labyrinth Runner is a shooting game that Hamster Corporation describes as follows: “you set off on a journey towards the castle where the evil Devil awaits, in order to rescue the kidnapped Princess Papaya. Be wary of the various traps along the way and use three types of projectiles to defeat enemies appearing from all directions as you advance!”
As they so often do, Hamster Corporation has gone rather obscure with this week’s release. In fact, Labyrinth Runner is so obscure that it doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry!
As usual, the Arcade Archives 2 versions of the game add an all- new Time Attack mode alongside the original arcade mode.
The Arcade Archives version of Labyrinth Runner was released today on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, priced at $7.99 USD.
Meanwhile, the Arcade Archives 2 version of Labyrinth Runner was also released today, on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $9.99 USD.
As usual, those who purchase the Arcade Archives version of the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 can upgrade to the Arcade Archives 2 version of the game on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 respectively for $2.99 USD.
