Survival Run © 1983 Data Age, Incorporated.

No one has ever returned from the deadly cosmic portal, yet driven by intense curiosity you enter. Suddenly you plunge into a negative universe and find yourself on a labyrinth of narrow walkways spanning a sea of deadly liquid nitrogen. You let out a sigh of relief a moment too soon as the sharp pain in your throat tells you that the air is as deadly as the sea. Your only hope for survival is the Korbinian cubes - an energy rich diet that will also neutralize the poisonous air. In sheer desparation you run for your life to the nearest cube. Just then you confront the diabolical Dylak, an ammonia breathing monster lurking in the dark corners. His purpose: guard the Korbinian cubes and destroy the intruder. With only seconds of life remaining, you must avoid Dylak and retrieve the cube. You make it just in time. As you absorb its energy , you achieve superstrength, possibly enough to push Dylak into the deadly sea. But beware! Your strenghth is short lived. Soon you will need another cube.

It is unknown why Data Age stopped development on Survival Run, but it may have been due to the game not shaping up as well as they had hoped.
