Instructions

You begin the game in a safe room with no robots. From there you can exit into adjacent rooms. You must destroy the robots while avoiding the electrified walls of the maze.

There are three types of robots. One that doesn’t fire, one that fires in the cardinal directions and the third type fires 8 directions. Once you clear the room of robots, you have a short time to escape before Otto appears and tries to destroy you. Otto cannot be defeated by bullets. Robots will try to reach you and will randomly fire in your direction. Their bullets cannot be stopped by your own, however the smart bomb will destroy both robots and active bullets. Run-Stop will pause the game and allow you to either continue or return to the title page.

An extra life is awarded at 3000 points.

PET 2001 Version

While a PET 2001 version is included, I find this model difficult to work with. For example, screen clear codes often don’t work unless I send a carriage return first. It’s as if the machine is in quote mode all the time. I’m also not able to test the game on a true 32k 2001 model. This version is included, but may be problematic. The 2001 version requires you to press Space to toggle title page and high scores.

The FULL VERSION game will be released FREE after Christmas but may be purchased now to support the author.
