Robotron 2084

Let's stop playing around.  Robotron 2084 is the best arcade game of its era by a long shot.  It has immaculate control, brutal but rewarding difficulty, spectacular sound design, evocative graphics and sooooooo much fun you can't really understand it.  Save the last human family (of hundreds of clones) from our evil mechanized overlords. If I was going to bother to have one classic game in my home...this is it.

  1. OH HELL YES! I wish that I had this game in a standup right now. If I found it, I'd buy it. I remember the "ohhhs" you'd get when you got to the "Mass Pop" level. Great fun.

  2. it was one of the only classic games I was really truly excited to see kept in working order at the arcade (the sound boards in these are a nightmare)
