Solid Runner (ソリッドランナー) is a 1997 turn-based role-playing video game developed by Sting Entertainment and published by ASCII Corporation for the Super Famicom. The game was released exclusively in Japan on March 28, 1997, late in the console's life span. The game takes place in a town known as Solid City, which despite being technologically advanced, is overrun with crime. Very few people dare to challenge the control of the underground mafias and street gangs that threaten the city. While the game has a continuous plot, players are urged to complete individual missions.

Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8
There sure are a lot of mecha RPGs for the SNES out there, aren't there? The difference with this one is that it's actually an RPG, and not just some strategy game with some talking in between battles. The battles themselves seem pretty clever actually; You press one of the four face buttons (A, B, X, Y) that corresponds to a different weapon on your robot. Opens up a lot of possibilities, huh? I probably still won't like it, but what're you gonna do? It's not like people make games with ME in mind. Hm.
