Robotron Is Back!

We talk about some strategies in this old episode of the podcast.

Also, this old Arcade Impossible series helped me a lot when I first got my machine.

Still waiting on that part 3 of the series. LOL
 
I wasn't around for that era of klov but I love stumbling across old threads that played out like this one. The short, witty responses are gold

Twas the golden age.

Man, people used to get so upset at little quote hacks.

Holy smokes I'm cracking up thinking about it again.
 
You do know that you have to set the game for maximum difficulty, right? :D .

Truly the only way to play Robotron...

Congrats on getting one back in your very cool collection!

Hot damn. Maybe PM 1500points for a copy of it? He was really really good a Robotron.


I honestly don't know. The ball gag was too tight and he was hard to understand.
Semi-necro bump. 1500points hasn't logged in since 2019 it seems. I was just trying to track him down to se if he had any other info on Blaster artist John Sheldrake. Can't find any trace of him online yet

Blaster is an underrated gem
 
Love Robotron.........


You need the "ego" rom which eliminates the 5 entry limitation and lets you fill the high score table with the same set of initials.

[ Yah, I know, my scores suck... ;-) ]

( PM me for the eprom hack )

Those are bad scores?? Insert Homer disappeared into the hedge here.

Well, considering the picture directly above my post, ... yah, I'm a little more self-conscious now !

;-)

[ In fairness though, that was played on a MAME machine without original Robo sticks.
In my prime ... 30 yrs ago, on a real machine, I would crack 5M on occasion. ]

Here are the videos of my marathon Robotron run. My final score of 104,891,725. The challenges and preparation took me over a year to reach this level.
