The player has a pool of money, a base with cores to protect, and tower emplacements.
The goal is to strategically place towers to defend their base from incoming enemies.
Different kind of enemies require different kinds of towers to be able to destroy them.
The enemies consist of an alien species that is after your base.
These include small enemies and easy to kill enemies, slow and giant bosses, flying enemies, lightning quick enemies that require slowing down first, etc.
Towers consist of gun emplacements, flamethrower towers, anti-air towers, laser towers, and many more.
The enemies are after the power cores and pick these up after walking close to them.
Some enemies can carry several power cores at the same time and should be an priority.
When a power core is dropped, it slowly returns back to the power core, but can be picked up whilst returning by enemies.
The player loses when all cores are successfully stolen by enemies.
Unlike its predecessor, this game features coöperative and competitive multiplayer.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Grid Runner for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Grid Runner to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1996.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Grid Runner, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
