Robotron: 2084  Atari1983CX-5225 Rarity. 2 Common+. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players alternating.
The primary goal of the game is to destroy all robots. But you also get big points for rescuing humans. In fact the last surviving human family. That's about the jist of it, good luck.

Features:
This game came packaged with a joystick coupler to simulate the arcade controls.

Controls:
The analog stick for the controller in port 1 moves your character. The stick for controller 2 fires your laser. Using 1 stick only, you can fire in the direction you are facing.

Hints:
Use the joystick coupler.
Try not to get caught in the center of the screen. Blast your way to the edge as soon as you can.
Grunts will head straight toward you and gain speed as long as they live. Shoot them before they get too fast.
Hulks (Box Droids). Indestructible? You can deter them slightly by shooting, but only for a split second.
Brains (blue robots) shoot fireballs and infect humans, turning them into Progs.
Fireballs chase you.
Progs, former humans. They are now exploding kamikaze bots. Timing it the key to shooting them.
Spheroids (Cheerios). Don't touch them. They are fast and good at dodging your shots. They launch Enforcer Embryos
Enforcer Embryos grow up to be Enforcer
Enforcers wear yellow hats. They spark. They can flood the screen with sparks in moments.
Quarks are unpredictable except for the guarantee they will turn into Tanks
Tanks are the red square robots. They toss lots bouncy-bombs. They can flood the screen with them.
Electrodes. Don't touch em.
