Portal Runner is a 2001 action platformer developed by 3DO and a spin-off of Army Men featuring Vikki Grimm as the playable character, sending her through portals across wildly different environments to rescue her boyfriend Nick Blade. It's a curiosity in the Army Men catalog -- a title that leaned into varied world design and a different protagonist at a time when the series was flooding shelves with increasingly similar entries.
