Captain Crumble travels through time and space. His mission to capture the "Teazles"mischievous creatures that have escaped the intergalactic zoo. Captain Crumble must use his jet-pack to negotiate the maze-like words without interfering with or altering/time history. Time Runner has three worlds to explore: 1) Haunted Mansion: avoid ghosts and paranormal activity, and find secret passages. 2) Aztec Jungle: avoid jungle wildlife. 3) Moon Caverns: explore space caves and don't touch the aliens! There is also a inter-level shoot-em up section that links the levels together.
