I don't doubt this has been posted before, but for those of you who've never heard of this then this is for you.
There is a secret message inside the programming of Robotron 2084. You have to do a series of moves with the joysticks and buttons to get the message to appear.
DURING GAMEPLAY you must do this:
move right, fire up then hit player 1 start: immediately after that you....
move up, fire down then hit player 2 start: immediately after that you...
move down, fire up then keep holding the fire joystick in the up position(don't let go)
This message will then appear:

Now the best way to do this is kill all but 1 grunt on the first board, then distance your guy from the grunt as far as you can and start the sequence. You have to be quick, but once you're on the last step and you're holding the fire joystick up, the message will stay there as long as you hold the joystick in the up position. When you let go it disappears. The only way I could do it was to have my brother read the sequence to me quickly as I did it, because it can get confusing.
Has anyone else tried this? Its kind of cool, took me a few tries to get it. Its neat that something like this is hidden in there. Just thought I'd share just in case there were some fellow Klov'rs that haven't tried this yet(assuming you have a Robotron to try it on!)
