Atomic Runner Chelnov is an arcade side-scrolling shooter platform video game developed and published by Data East in 1988. It was ported to the Sega Genesis in 1992, and the Sharp X68000 in 1993. In the game, the player takes the role of Chelnov, a coal miner who miraculously survives the malfunction and explosion of a nuclear power plant. Chelnov's body gains superhuman abilities due to the massive amount of radiation given off by the explosion, and a secret organization seeks to harness those abilities for its own evil purposes. Chelnov must battle and defeat the secret organization using his newfound abilities.
