ATARI Road Runner Almost Never Saw the Light of Day
Before Coyote vs. Acme finally hit theaters (against all odds), Road Runner had its own delayed debut on the Atari 2600. Started by Bob Polaro in 1984 and eventually released in 1989, this Looney Tunes chase got a second chance—but was it worth rescuing?
This week on Friday Plays, I dodge desert hazards, turn Wile E. Coyote’s traps against him, and discover why this cartoon chase leaves me with mixed feelings.
What do YOU think of Road Runner on the Atari 2600? Share your memories—and suggestions for future Friday Plays—in the comments!
