I can't really understand all the hate... This is an old game, and it's very fun to play in short bursts.


Robotron is an ancient twin stick shooter. You go through the levels and pick up humans for points, while killing all enemies in the level to advance to the next one. I keep dying by level 7, so either I'm not good, or this game is f*cking hard. I think it's the latter.

Shooting takes place in 8 directions, so you better get used to not have 100% precision in this game. It adds to the challenge of the game, and even makes it better for it(?).

If you can tell what the hell is going on in this picture, you are probably a gaming savant. It isn't an insult :-)

The game has multiplayer and co-op, no local though that I remember. It is possible to get a game set-up also, I think I noticed around 5 people on around 7:00 pm on a friday. So, uh, keep trying if you haven't gotten a match up ;-) It's really fun. Or just invite your friends, they probably got the game as an xbox live pack-in also.

The game, in my opinion, is really fun to play in short bursts. Nothing I would spend 3 hours at a time on though. And hey, this is gaming history.
