Robbo
Players' stories
Robbo is an action puzzle game developed by xLanD Computer Games and published by Epic in 1993 on DOS. A lost piece of the Epic Games back catalogue, Robbo aka The Adventures of Robbo is a remake of an earlier game also named Robbo that released in 1989 and sees the title character Robbo exploring top-down mazes in real-time, collecting bolts (to finish the level) and batteries to power his blaster while avoiding various enemies and hazards in each level. I actually own this game in it's cardboard box release (the one used for the boxart picture in this entry), which came with a single solitary floppy disk, but I can still remember the extremely chirpy, upbeat tune that plays on the title screen. Surprisingly the game actually came with some voice acting which was particularly rare for a budget game, with the intermissions speaking out "Now Entering System A" or whatever level you were on, "a bolt" or "a battery" as you picked up various items and an endless amount of "Poor Robbo" statements that would announce whenever I was destroyed by an enemy, hazard or just pressed escape to reset a level after screwing up a block-sliding puzzle. The graphics were charming and colourful and the game plays fairly well, the only real detractions being the lack of in-game music (excluding title screen) and the inclusion of the random block. The Random Block, a bright yellow 3D-esque question mark added essentially a small gamble you could take as on touch it would transform into a random object from the game be it: - Good (a bolt - one less to collect to exit the level or a battery - extra firepower to blast through enemies) - Neutral (a push-block or teleporter) - Bad (an enemy or trap that would often shoot or kill you almost immediately) Even though there are better games in this style like Chip's Challenge for example and other far worse games, this is still a lost part of Epic's back catalogue that deserves to be remembered and preserved.

Description

Robbo Millennium is required to add Robbo to your library.

 

 

 

Robbo must make his way through 56 planets to escape the hostile planetary system where he was treacherously imprisoned.

On each planet, a small capsule awaits him, which he can use to travel to the next planet. Unfortunately, most of the capsules are incomplete, so Robbo must collect parts scattered across the entire planet. He’ll be hindered by evil creatures—the system’s inhabitants. On his journey, Robbo will find various items. Discover their purpose. Try pushing, collecting, or shooting them.

Remember, every planet can be completed!

The author wishes you lots of fun.

Might be a fun little game

Instructions are in a foreign language. From what I've been able to figure out. F2 - start the game F5 - back to main menu F9 - pause Esc - in game will reset the level. Takes a few pushes. Left Shift - Fire, you need to push a direction at the same time Arrow Keys - Move. Escape doesn't work to exit the game from the main menu, I have to alt+F4 to close it. The problem is key presses don't always register, it's extremely intermittent but happens a lot and makes it very frustrating to play. Sometimes it might ignore 5 or 6 presses in a row. I've tried messing with the Altirra settings but I can't figure it out. So it looks like it might be fun little puzzle game but it's currently unplayable for me. Edit: Holding down the arrow keys makes it a little less miserable but there are times where a missed key kills you....

Instant nostalgia

I remember playing this on my Atari 65XE. It took me an my cousins quite a lot of tie to figure out how to sollve the levels. I even remember having redrawn a level on a sheet of paper, with movable tiles of obstacles and all, so I could bring it to school anf figure it out together with my schoolmates. Now I walk the early levels through almost entirely from my memory (You couldn't save the game state, you had to redo all the levels from the beginning each time you played, or leave it loaded through the night) It does struggle with the input, and it was always like that (imagine the frustration on a joystick when you had to cut the corners to race against the laser or a baddie :D ) I guess it waits for a game "tick" to register. As for quitting the game.... well you couldn't realy quit it any other way than resetting the console back in the days :D so just use Alt+F4. It used to have a cheat code - typing the author's name "JANUSZ PELC" on the main screen would set your starting lives to 80, but it doesn't seem to work here. I will definitely show this to my kids :D
