Originally presented by Williams Electronics, this remake of Robotron: 2084 adapts five levels from the classic fast-paced, twin-stick arcade game to keyboard!

Overview

Play as a mutant hero as you fight Grunts, Hulks, Spheroids, Enforcers, and more classic enemies as you try to save the last human family from the Robotrons! In each wave, successfully combat all the enemies to complete the level while trying to avoid contacting obstacles, projectiles, or enemies. While the original arcade game did not have a definite ending, featuring up to 225 levels, this remake only has five levels of increasing difficulty.
