Description

CX-5221. Rarity 2 Common+. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players alternating. Go from room to room in a dimensionally transcendental maze-like building clearing it of a killer robot infestation. You have the same weapon as the relatively dumb robots, who refer to you as humanoid, but they have Evil Otto. If you don't move fast enough, Evil Otto will descend on you and kill you, then pound on you repeatedly. Also, the buildings walls have been electrified and will disintegrate anything except the invincible Otto. This port of the game is the only home version to feature digitized speech. While th speech is in English, it offers no significant game information.
