Chelnov

When he survived the deadly accident, he was possessed with abnormal powers.

Having realized this, he decided to act in the cause of justice.

He is determined to escape the Eastern Bloc country he called home and run and jump across the world to finish in the US.

What distinguishes Chelnov: Atomic Runner from other platform games is its use of forced scrolling.

This occurs when the screen moves continuously from left to right, forcing players to negotiate the game's many obstacles and enemies without controlling Chelnov's speed of progress.

Enemies attack from left, right, above, and below, and Chelnov can switch the direction he's facing to attack enemies that are behind him.

Some enemies in the game carry different types of weapons and power-ups, and when they are shot at, the power-ups drop to the ground and can be picked up.

While the level design and enemy placement is identical in the later released Genesis (and subsequently Wii) version, the graphics have been significantly changed: now each level is based on a ancient human civilization and the enemies (including bosses) are replaced.

Also all references to atomic explosions have been removed from the background story.

Now Chernov is the son of a scientist.

The evil Deathtarians, who claim to be the original population of the Earth and want to control this planet, murdered his father and abducted his sister.

Chelnov takes a special suit made by his father, which give him super-human powers and make him an "Atomic Runner".

The Deathtarians caught and imprisoned him, but he broke out of the prison and is now on the run...

Gamevaro hasn't tracked a market sale for Chelnov (Sega Genesis) yet, so no current value is available. Prices are sourced from real marketplace sales, and this page will update automatically once sales data comes in.

Chelnov has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
