atari2600land's Blog - Robotron: 2084

[RSS Bot]

I'm surprised I haven't done this one before. I'm guessing the one reason why this game was made was to show off how the Lynx can handle a whole bunch of sprites without flicker. The gameplay itself is very difficult, and if I were to make it past wave 7, it would be a miracle. It is very hard to grasp all the different things going on on the screen, whether to shoot them, avoid them, or touch them. I can't handle 40 bazillion things all on the screen at once, and getting an extra life at 25,000 points does little to help anything. I played this for about a half an hour to review this game, and I only got above 100,000 ONCE, and I was on wave 6. If you haven't played Robotron, basically what you're doing is going around shooting things (about ten million all on the screen at once past wave 2) and you can rescue the stupid people who are basically walking around a war zone for extra points. While it does show off the Lynx's power nicely, that's all it does nicely, as this game is mean and hard.
