- blakeyrat 10y agoI think Aztec Challenge on Commodore 64 might have a strong claim here.
- vidarh 10y agoIt's not an infinite runner, though - you move on to other levels. You eventually go back to start and have to go through everything over and over, but the running part is punctuated.

- PhasmaFelis 10y agoAt the very least, there were one- and two-button runners in Flash for some time before Canabalt. I think Canabalt is like Doom or Super Mario Brothers--it was the first really polished implemention of its genre that showed its full potential and led to an explosion of other games, but it didn't invent the core concept.
