Do! Run Run Description

This is the fourth and last game in the series where Mr. Do! must collect dots and fruit on a multi-level platform while avoiding pursuing monsters. Enclose the dots to change them to fruit for more points or release traps to crush the monsters or use your power ball to eliminate them. Pick up the letters hidden amongst the fruit to spell "EXTRA" to receive an extra Mr. Do!

Cabinet Information

The game was only released as a conversion kit.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

Here are a few hints for getting a higher score:

Throw your powerball in a narrow space so it will bounce more. The more bounces it completes before hitting a monster, the greater the bonus. Continue to encircle the fruit to keep increasing its point value.
It takes less cherries that dots to get a new powerball, less apples than cherries, etc.

Conversion

The board set can be swapped with Mr. Do's Wild Ride without any modifications.

Game Play

The object of the game is collect all the dots or destroy all the monsters on the screen to advance levels. Monsters can be destroyed by throwing a powerball at them or crushing them with a log. Monsters will change and become faster if they have not been destroyed after a certain amount of time.

Letters will appear somewhere among the fruit on the sceen. Collect all five letters in "EXTRA" and receive an additional Mr. Do!

If a diamond appears, collect it for a free game!

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Common - There are 26 known instances of Do! Run Run owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines, 3 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 20 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,121 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 14 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Do! Run Run machine for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
