Urban Runner: Lost in Town is a French computer game developed by Coktel Vision and produced by Sierra in 1996. The game is a movie adventure spanning four CD-ROMs controlled by a mouse, divided into Clue and Actions turns. The player character is Max Gardener (voiced by Brandon Massey), an American journalist in Paris, covering a story about a drug dealer shielded by an influential politician. To get the drug lord talking, the player offers him photographs, but when the player arrives, he is dead, and the player is framed for the murder.Urban Runner was not too popular at the time due to high graphics and monitor resolution requirements - 640x480 resolution, 256 colors at minimum and 32-bit colors recommended; there are very few reviews that have been released about the game.Despite the serious premise, the game invokes a deliberate B-movie feel, and the story gradually becomes sillier as it goes on. |

Stupidity Is the Only Option: After solving the first puzzle of the game to knock out the armed bodyguard ("Buffalo Bill") chasing Max, the player must search "Bill"'s unconscious body to get an item for the next puzzle. The player is not given the option to take Bill's gun (which would neutralize Bill's primary threat) or keys (which would make the next section of the game unnecessary). |

Plot Hole Pops up if you choose to have Max revisit the hotel first instead of Adda going to the post office. Max manages to knock out Inspector Van Dalle and stuff him in his trunk at the end of his sequence but once Adda's starts, Van Dalle is alright and casually talking to Freddy. D.D. is found by him lying in a pool of his own blood that we clearly see after trying to escort Adda yet he accompanies Max at the end of the game. This is handwaved by D.D. wearing a bulletproof vest but that doesn't explain the pool of blood. |

Made of Plasticine: While it's less gory than most examples, Inspector van Dalle gets knocked out when Max slowly closes a trunk on his back. When Eraser is first encountered, Max deals with him by blinding him with a nearby desk lamp and kicking a handball into his face. He's a really big dude, but this attack levels him. Shortly thereafter Max is able to wrestle the microfilm out of his hand and... he just sort of walks off as Max dives to retrieve it. |

Pixel Hunt: At some part, you have to look around Dr. Dramish's backyard for his security system. The problem is that most of the picture is blurred and you only have a tiny field to focus on to find three security cameras and a magpie that you can easily confuse with the leaves surrounding them. |
