Mr. TNT
Techstar (Telko license) • 1983
Also known as: Gorkans


Mr. TNT is a maze game released in 1983 by Techstar under license from Telko. Two players control characters navigating a series of interconnected chambers filled with obstacles and enemy robots. The gameplay centers around strategically placing explosive charges – the “TNT” of the title – to clear paths, eliminate adversaries, and ultimately reach an exit point within each maze. Players must manage their limited supply of TNT carefully; incorrect placement can be as dangerous to them as it is to the robotic opponents. Movement is restricted to outlining pathways through the maze, adding a layer of planning and precision to the action. Success requires coordination between both players to effectively clear obstacles and avoid enemy patrols. Originally released in Europe as "Gorkans," this version represents a re-release under the Techstar label, bringing its unique blend of puzzle-solving and cooperative gameplay to new audiences.
