Just picked up Goldrunner yesterday, and yes, it's a wonderful game! It also
seems to be available for the ST --- A price list that came out of the box
lists it as available for the ST, color only. 

Words of warning, though: As Carlos said, the game is strictly an arcade
style game --- So although you get smooth scrolling and screens as nice
as Faery Tale, there's not much strategy involved --- And I know some people
who don't like Starglider just for it's arcade qualities. A second warning
is the copy protection --- The disk drive grinds away for close to a minute
while the game is loading. (I don't have Marauder or anything, so I never 
uncopy-protect my games...). But it looks like its worth the $30 (unless
I finally manage to get to ring 2 and it gurus on me).
