Editor note
This is a java script and assembly game engine remake for Robot Odyssey v1.1 for DOS. It runs a web browsers. Some interface features and graphics enhancements are added but the game is otherwise identical to the DOS version 1.1 (As an example, some of the clipping cheats are removed in v1.1 for DOS and so RORw doesn't have them).
You are trapped in a the robot city, Robotropolis. You must navigate the city by designing and soldering logic circuits into discarded robots. You'll need to find batteries, battery chargers (unless you work extremely efficiently), keys, tokens, sensors, and microchips, among other things. But more important than any items you find in the game is the item resting between your shoulders, your brain. The puzzles in this game have no absolute solution (but hints and parts are sometimes provided for a solution predetermined by the game designers), instead you must design the solutions that you think will work. The unofficial sequel to Rocky's Boots. Uses a much more advanced engine to drive very, very complex logic circuitry and animations. Although the puzzles in the game don't come close to needing the complexity this game is capable of delivering. It is educational, just don't tell anyone because this game is way to much fun to spoil.
In the Sewer level, you can find initials of 8 of the level designers. No doubt this is was included because of Warren Robinett's famous easter egg in Atari Adventure. There is also a secret room in the game where text concerning Warren Robinett and Rocky's Boots is shown.
There are 4 sides to this program! Depending on what version you have, all sides of the disks may contain useful chips. Check'em out.
The copy protection of this game will prevent the soldering iron from working Even if legitimately purchased, the floppy disk will eventually degrade and trigger the copy protection. The disks are a modified DOS 3.3 format. Enter B942:18 in the Apple's monitor program, copy the disks, then Enter B942:36. Edit the disks and change $000FD2 and $040EEB to 38. Now you have disks suitable to dump for emulation.
"Klaatu Barada Nikto" is a reference to the old black and white classic sci-fi, The Day the Earth Stood Still
There is a Dalek in The Sewers level.
