Descpription:
I, Robot is a Multi-directional shooter where the player
assumes the role of "Unhappy Interface Robot #1984", a servant robot that
has become self-aware and decides to rebel against Big Brother. The object of
the game involves the servant bot to destroy the gigantic, blinking eye of Big
Brother that watches over in all 99 levels before the time limit expires.
To do so, the player must cross the red squares that cover the playing field, turning
them blue and destroying the shield that protects the eye and the eye itself. However,
one of Big Brother's arbitrary laws is "no jumping"; meaning that if the eye is open
while the player is in the act of jumping, it will destroy the robot and the player will lose a life.
Other hazards, such as birds, bombs, and flying sharks, serve to prevent the robot
from completing its task. Between levels, the robot flies through outer space,
and must shoot through polygonal "tetras," meteors, and enemies to reach the next board.
