Atomic Runner Chelnov (World)

Atomic Runner Chelnov is a cooperative platform and shooter game released by Data East Corporation in 1988. Two players take control of characters battling through environments as they navigate obstacles and confront enemies. The gameplay involves running across varied terrain while simultaneously shooting projectiles at advancing threats, demanding both precise movement and coordinated attacks to progress. This version, intended for export markets, differs significantly from the original Japanese release known as "Atomic Runner Chelnov - Tatakau Ningen Hatsudensho." The game's design originated in Japan, showcasing a unique blend of platforming challenges and scrolling shooter action. Later ports appeared on Sega Mega Drive consoles in Europe and Australia under the shortened title “Atomic Runner.” A planned release for the Sega Saturn never materialized beyond an unfinished prototype stage.
