| Stack-Up | Nintendo | 1985 | Here's a high-tech, high-strategy juggling act that's loads of fun! Are you up to the challenge? You've got to get R.O.B., the World's first Robotic Operating Buddy, to stack a pile of colored discs to match the colored pattern on the screen. This exciting Robot game can be played several ways. In the Direct mode, you have to match the pattern in the shortest number of moves. In the Memory mode, you can program up to 100 Robot moves as you try to match the pattern. In the Bingo mode, on-screen alien beings keep changing the pattern, preventing you from completing your mission! Inside you'll find five colored discs and five disc holders along with the game pak. Everything you need to play STACK-UP!*** [52]***Stack-Up is the first of two games that used the Nintendo's R.O.B. hardware. Stack-up is about programming R.O.B. to stack differently colored little discs according to a predefined color-scheme. By jumping on different buttons you give R.O.B. commands. In a different game mode called Bingo you have to stack discs on a holder with two creatures trying to disturb your plans. What surprised me most was that the game features little speech samples for the R.O.B. commands like "down", "open" etc. In contrast to the other game supporting R.O.B. ([game=#7850]Gyromite[/game]), Stack-Up is not really playable without the robot add-on, so I couldn't figure out if it would actually be fun to play the game as it was meant to be. But apart from the innovative R.O.B. itself it doesn't look that this game is very motivating to play.***Japanese release date was 1985-07-26 North American NES-SK-USA release was 1985-10-18 The Title Screen says "Robot Block" rather than matching the package and cart label. Meant to be used with R.O.B. Came with 2 foam hands for holding blocks, 5 trays to rest blocks on, and 5 cylindrical blocks. [Zerothis] | labelimagesubject |
