He hopes to create new functions in nature that will remove the pollution from the Earth before it is too late.
Bruford's experiments go wrong and genetic monsters are unleashed upon the world.
The only thing that can stop these creatures are Dr.
Bruford's previous achievement: Genetically enhanced warriors known as the Run Sabers.
Two of the Run Sabers, Sheena and Allen are ready to activate.
Run Saber is a side-scrolling platform game similar in gameplay to Strider .
Players assume the role of one or both of the Run Saber characters.
Choosing either Sheena with her Ice powers or Allen with his Thunder powers, players must defeat mutant monsters.
The Run Sabers can move side to side, jump in the air, attack with a sword, climb along walls or roofs, slide across the ground and drop-kick.
Additionally, each character has a special move, which damages everything on the screen with either Ice or Lightning, and which can be activated by collecting orb power-ups.
Other power-ups include small health, large health, extra life and a larger sword.
Players progress through 5 different levels, often encountering powerful boss and miniboss mutant creatures.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Run Saber for Super Nintendo Entertainment System 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 Run Saber 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 SNES release dates back to 1993.
