An outstanding translation of Robotron, especially for its time. Compared to the 7800 version, the 5200/800 version has chunkier sprites and fewer colors, yet still retains nearly all the elements of the arcade. The action is just as thrilling and intense as you would expect, and it's all so impressive for the hardware of the time. One of my absolute favorites. |

| This was easily a top-10 arcade conversion for me. I had wireless Atari joysticks in the day and when placed in the included double-joystick mount found that gameplay and sound was a remarkable match to the arcade original. These days, under emulation on my homebrew arcade machine with two arcade caliber sticks, I often play this alongside the arcade version and still find it remarkable how much this gets the look and feel right for a home translation. Great game. |
| once you get a controller setup in order... and can start recognizing what is what- this game becomes very playable: the sound, the graphics, and the segue-ways between stages are top notch! |

Hawthorn... The version I bought of this cart came in an oversized box with a plastic holder to put 2 Atari joysticks into so you could play authentically. Try it out and you'll see that you can play like this. |
| No way to tap into the insane fun of this game without being able to fire and move in different directions at the same time. This 8-bit version does not compare with the original intentions of the arcade. |
