Official description
Inspired by his never ending quest for progress, in 2084 man perfects the robotrons: A robot species so advanced that man is inferior to his own creation. Guided by their infallible logic, the robotrons conclude: The human race is inefficient and therefore must be destroyed. You are the last hope of mankind, due to a genetic engineering error, you possess superhuman powers. Your Mission is to stop the robotrons, and SAVE THE LAST HUMAN FAMILY. The adventure continues in 'Blaster'.

Description
The second game by Vid Kidz, the third done together by founders Eugene Jarvis and Larry DeMar. The first, of course, was Defender. A lot of the people responsible for the amazingly fast graphics engine for Robotron went on to the Amiga computer project at Commodore. Titled "Robot War: 1984" during its development phase.
The first game with a nine digit score.
