	TotalGames.net - Robotron 64 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Robotron 64 has been a game a long time in coming -- its original release date was scheduled for around September last year, but for various reasons it didn''t appear when planned.
		Robotron 2084, the distant ancestor of Robotron 64, is arguably the greatest shoot-''em-up of all time, a title it frequently fights over with Defender.
		The robotrons (for ''tis they) decide that the world would be a lot better off without us, and looking at the programme lineup on ITV of a Saturday it''s hard to disagree.

	ROBOTRON Z1013 - computing in the GDR
		Robotron was a famous computer brand in the former communist countries in Eastern Europe.
		An exception at this rule was the Robotron Z1013, which appeared in 1984, five years before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
		Another problem was that Robotron manufactured the first model (Z1013.01) with a certain amount of chips rejected for industrial use, because of the chronic shortage of quality chips.

	Arcade Games: Mastering Robotron:2084
		Robotron 2084 is unlike any other video game around.
		Designed and programmed by Eugene Jarvis, the creator of both Defender and Stargate (all manufactured by Williams Electronics), Robotron is one of the most dazzling arcade games released in 1982.
		The scenario for Robotron is as follows: In the year 2084, technology has become so advanced that our own creations, the robots, decide that the human race is expendable.

	Multi-Williams Conversion - Robotron, Joust and Stargate
		Stargate and Robotron, for example, share identically-constructed cocktail cabinets; the control panels can be swapped in about a minute, and that's including the time to insert the adaptor.
		When playing Robotron, there would thus be two ways to move or fire upwards; either by pressing up on the joystick or by pressing the newly-installed "FLAP" button.
		Assuming you started with a Robotron cabinet, plug the Robotron 27512 into the ROM daughterboard, and the Robotron 2732 into the adaptor on the sound board.

	Robotron X @ www.vidgames.com
		Robotron X $54.95, Best Buy, Richfield MN Williams Entertainment The retro fad is in full swing.
		Case in point: Robotron X. Sure, there are a TON of rendered sprites whizzing around the screen.
		GAMEPLAY: 4 If the original Robotron were not available for the PSX, then I'd give X an 8, maybe even a 9; Robotron, in whatever form, kicks major buttage.

	DP Royal Archives - I Robotron
		Robotron is the undisputed king of the arcade that redefined those thrill-a-second games where the odds are overwhelming, the graphics are fantastic, and the foes are deadly.
		Robotron, like so many of the Williams classic arcade tyrants, starts out on the “pretty difficult” end of the scale and very quickly progresses to “absurdly difficult.” Perhaps not as quickly as Sinistar or Stargate, but certainly more so than Defender or Joust.
		Some final little miscellaneous revelations concerning Robotron: when you are ticked off at that girl who dumped you because you’re perfect and so forth, you can simply allow all of the female humanoids to get wasted by the Hulks.

	The Discworld - Robotron X (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Robotron X is a good revamp of the original coin-op hit Robotron: 2084.
		As one of the earliest attempts to revive arcade classics, Robotron X plays good and looks great, although the Playstation version, with its dual directional keypads on each controller, is a better platform for this game.
		New species of enemy robotrons are added, and if you like (or dread) dealing with dozens of robots on the screen, you’ll find the increased intensity in Robotron X even more hectic and challenging.

	Curmudgeon Gamer - Platform Shootout: Robotron X vs Robotron 64
		Out of the gate first was Robotron X for the PSX, and I was relatively pleased with the result, even though it suffered from several drawbacks.
		There is also some annoying "jitter" to the playfield in Robotron 64 that I notice mostly after the level has finished, so I don't think this is a huge deal.
		Robotron 64 has a better viewing angle of the board, allowing you to see much more of what's close to you and farther away.

		Robotron: 2084 is a sloppy, incomplete port that's not worth your mobile dollar.
		James Cameron stole the plot of Robotron for The Terminator; the Wachowskis ripped off The Terminator; and they all were biting on Sophia Stewart's The Third Eye.
		If you want to enjoy this small dose of Robotron the way it was intended to be played, you'll be unable to turn on the sound, period.

	Robotron X for PlayStation Review - PlayStation Robotron X Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		And luckily, Robotron X for the Playstation both retains these Eugene Jarvis innovations and ups the ante in terms of graphics and music.
		The concepts from the original game are the same in Robotron X. Although all of the bad guys are 3-D rendered, and the playfield scrolls in and out (depending on where the hero is), not much else has changed in terms of gameplay.
		Robotron X even includes bosses and bonus rounds for those players who complete the primary objective and rescue all family members.

	IGN: Robotron 64 Preview
		What may push Robotron 64 (tentatively titled) above its brethren versions is that the Player 1 team has had more time to tweak, fix, and improve the game, which has been in the design process for nearly one and a half years.
		Robotron 64 will feature 200 (yes, 200!) levels, with the levels shifting in a kind of gradient pattern every 10 levels.
		But this Robotron version will include an ending, which, for a game that used a high score in the old arcade tradition of completion, is more than just a small alteration.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Robotron 2084 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Robotron is one of those games that bring back fond memories of when I was a child.
		Robotron’s conversion here is fairly blasé and doesn’t seem to take advantage of too many amenities offered by its modern platform.
		Unfortunately, few people remember that Robotron was one of the first arcade boxes to include two joysticks, not for two players but for independent control of gun and movement.

	Defender and Robotron 2084 Review
		Robotron was one of those unique ideas some people liked and other people hated.
		Since it was impossible to accidentally shoot the humans you were charged with saving, Robotron was the sort of game where it was possible to enter a sort of Zen-like state where you achieve a sense of oneness with your pixellated hero while destroying everything in sight.
		Defender and Robotron 2084 support Pocket PCs running MIPS and ARM CPUs (Casio EM-500, E-115, E-125, and all Pocket PC 2002 devices) and are available at Pocketgear.com for $19.99.

		For those who have been sleeping for the past eighteen years, Robotron: 2084 is one of the most chaotic and addicting shoot-em-ups ever made.
		Any expert Robotron player will tell you that one of the game's main attractions was its dual joystick control.

		When Robotron's representative heard of the theft, he told Ace's management, "Look, if you'll go $2.5 million on the assembly line, we will throw in a security system." He then sketched on the back of his Robotron business card how each window of the building could be wired to a central security alarm.
		In the event of any breach of warranty by Robotron during the warranty period, Robotron's sole obligation shall be to repair or replace any defective item.
		Matters appear quite grave to Robotron as a visitor to Ace's plant was severely injured by a malfunctioning robot arm last Friday.

		This cart is noteworthy simply because, as far as I know, it is the only version of Robotron that allows gamers to effectively use two joysticks; in short, it's the only version that allows you to play the game as it was intended to be played.
		Snap a 5200 controller into each slot of the coupler and you are ready to rumble--one stick moves your character, the other fires.
		Anyway, 5200 Robotron is not as good graphically as the 7800 version, much less the arcade ports that exist for the 32-bit systems.

		We had to match up the paint with an original Robotron machine, create stencils of the Robotron side art, restore the control panel, prepare the cabinet, paint the cabinet, find the missing original parts (nearly all) and then start populating the cabinet with the actual game parts.

		I was a great fan of the game "Berzerk," and the frustration of that and all other single joystick games, was that you have to move toward an enemy in order to fire in that direction.
		The recipe for individual wave mixes of enemies was guided by the theme idea, featuring a certain enemy in each wave, as well as the presence of a basic core element of grunts, enforcers, and electrodes.
		The "Robotron" hardware was a 1MHz 8-bit 6809 processor, with a custom image coprocessor also running at 1MHz.

	Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Robotron: 2084
		Hands-down one of the most challenging and addictive games of all time, Robotron: 2084 was a brilliant masterpiece of design and engineering.
		The sounds were unearthly, the graphics, though simple, were easy to interpret, and the two-joystick control scheme (one for moving your character, the other for firing your lasers in any direction) is what the phrase "sweaty palms" was invented for.
		Robotron: 2084 was initially touted as the third game in a trilogy that began with Defender and continued with Defender's sequel Stargate, but the game play and basic premise of Robotron: 2084 are so vastly different from either of those games that the connection is virtually impossible to imagine.
