Robotron 2084 Atari Lynx
Everything you need to know about Robotron 2084
Robotron 2084 is the Lynx version of the classic 1982 arcade game from a third-party company called Shadow-Soft, which is also known for its mostly faithful conversion of Joust around the same time period. These two games quickly earned Shadowsoft a reputation for creating excellent adaptations of classic games. Like many Lynx games, it didn't get the attention it deserved. In fact, at the time of this review, Wikipedia doesn't even seem to acknowledge the existence of the Lynx conversion.
Es cierto que nunca he jugado al arcade en posición vertical, pero según algunas de las otras reseñas que he visto, es muy fiel. El juego también era conocido por su exclusivo joystick doble. El primer joystick mueve a tu personaje y el segundo controla la trayectoria de 8 direcciones de tu arma. Dado que Lynx no tiene joystick, ShadowSoft ofrece convenientemente 3 variaciones para los controles. En última instancia, pensé que la configuración A era la mejor. Disparas hacia donde miras, y también puedes «bloquear» la posición y atacar. No existe una variación perfecta, pero se le puede dar crédito a Shadowsoft por hacer lo mejor que pudo con el diseño de botones de Lynx.
The Lynx version of Robotron has some additional features, but they are scarce. Has a new global title screen showing box art, credits screen (with possible new/original music). The game includes 5 skill levels and 3 controller configurations. While it may have been nice if the game added more continues, you should find yourself getting deeper and deeper into the game in no time!
History
Durante la era de las historias genéricas de 1982, el tema de este juego se destacó con carácter y profundidad, ya que se basó libremente en la novela 1984 de George Orwell. En este juego, los Robotrons se vuelven contra sus creadores. Depende de ti, un súper ser modificado genéticamente, salvar a la última familia humana (mamá, papá y Mikey). Como muchos juegos de esta época, el objetivo no era «tener éxito» sino «fallar» con el aplomo, la gracia y la dignidad asociados con ver cuánto tiempo podías defenderte de la destrucción inevitable. Los enemigos incluso tenían personalidad en comparación con muchos enemigos genéricos en otros juegos de la época. Los Ingenius Brains, Spheroides, Quarks (Cubeoids), Progs, Grunts, Tanks, Hulks y Enforcers tienen sus propios métodos de ataque únicos que hacen que cada enemigo se destaque.
Robotron 2084 Gameplay
This is a game that has aged well. Because? The game creates an almost Tetris-like zen psychological experience. Not only do you have to use strategy with your location and choose which enemies to attack first, but you must also always have an escape route that you can open to gain the advantage in each stage. In short, the game is not a puzzle, but requires multiple tasks. You must also weigh the consequences of risking your life to save the tempting groups of humans before Ingenius Brains turns them into Prog. Humans are worth a lot, which means free lives (as long as you don't kick the bucket trying to save them all). ).
El juego está tan lleno de acción que a menudo se siente como si estuvieras jugando un juego mucho más moderno. He sentido el mismo «Shooter Zen» en juegos más modernos como Gradius III de Konami, Ikaruga de Treasure, Space Megaforce de Compile y otros juegos de disparos, pero rara vez en un juego de la era clásica.
Sometimes you may think you are in a place where you think you are about to die, only to miraculously turn the tables on enemies who outnumber you because your unconscious and your muscle memory take over and you somehow win. without a scratch. But don't waste too much time patting yourself on the back, because you might get shot while the next stage comes mercilessly fast!
Just so you know, you most likely won't think the game is very fun at first. The learning curve is very steep. Once you learn the physics of how enemies behave, you can really progress and have an amazing time. Go with skill level one to start. Only choose skill level 5 if you are a glutton for punishment.
Graphics
Since this is a conversion of a classic game, the sprites alone don't look very impressive. However, the graphics suddenly become impressive when you see the screen full of sprites moving with minimal slowdown.
Music and Sound
The music adds very well to the darkly humorous feel of the game. There are 4 tracks, and they are all very catchy. Listening to the tracks in stereo with headphones is incredible.
The Lynx version features over 15 digitized sound effects straight from the stud (according to the back of the box). Again, considering this is a classic era game, the amount of sound effects overall is quite sparse compared to other Lynx games that have hundreds of sound effects.
Final reflection
It is a very fun game, in which we will have a good time. Let's not expect this game to be the bomb of games, it fulfills its function perfectly, which is to have a good time and immerse yourself in the shooting. I see some similarity with the current Fornite, a bunch of stick figures stuck in a small space and trying to kill each other. HAHAHA.
