About this game

It's snowing, you're freezing, you're a hundred miles from home and you're locked out of your flying car.
The future ain't what it used to be.


Barn Runner: The Prick Who Came In From the Cold is the fourth game in the Barn Runner series which began as terribly misguided spoof of Blade Runner / Escape From New York / and The Andy Griffith Show. It's the far future imagined through the filter of the 1980s!

The game has a Christmas theme (sort of) and centers around a lazy, egocentric policeman in the distant future tasked with hunting down and destroying runaway robots who have had it with lazy, overbearing humanity and finally vented their mechanical rage on their hapless owners and anyone else within easy reach.

Naturally, like all humanity in the future, the cop hates his job and doesn't really put a lot of effort into it. So it's up to you to make him accomplish anything.

Don't worry, this isn't an action-oriented game and there are no arcade sequences. It only sounds terribly exciting, but rest easy: It isn't exciting in the least.

I hope you enjoy my game. It isn't the greatest but I certainly could have done much, much worse. (And have on several occasions!)
