An obscure Milton Bradley cartridge where the box, not the game, is what costs money.

Renaissance Technology developed Survival Run and Milton Bradley published it in 1983. Little is documented about the game itself beyond its developer, publisher and release year.

What the press said at the time

Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 2 No. 4

February 1984

2½ joysticks

“Survival Run doesn't even deserve the appellation 'game,' since being a game implies being fun to play. As a game, Survival Run would get half a joystick, but since you can always use the controller with a different game like Starmaster or Star Raiders, the whole package gets a rating of two and a half.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, February 1984

“The enclosed game is challenging enough to have sold very well on its own, but packaged with the Cosmic Commander, it becomes double trouble.”
— Electronic Games, July 1984

Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

Before you buy

Low risk, with no documented reproductions. Loose carts are cheap, but boxed copies cost many times more, so the box and manual carry most of a complete copy's value. If you are paying for a complete copy, ask for clear photos of all box panels and the manual, and check that the end label matches the front label.
