Overview
Description

Bad Bots is a retro‑style platform shooter that puts you in the shoes of Sam McRae, a grease mechanic who awakens from cryogenic sleep to find his cargo ship overrun by reprogrammed robots. Blast through waves of enemies, solve puzzles, and battle bosses while racing against a catastrophic collision course with Earth. Choose between a frantic 60‑second endless Challenge Mode or a story‑driven Campaign Mode packed with boss fights, puzzles, and a sci‑fi narrative that unfolds as you hack your way to survival.

RoboWarrior puts you in control of the cyborg ZED on the hostile planet Altile. Navigate five distinct level formats, using bombs to clear rocks, walls, and forests while battling enemies and collecting power‑ups. Each level challenges you with time limits, hidden keys, darkness, maze navigation, and occasional boss encounters, culminating in a showdown against the empire leader Xur. The game blends shooter action with puzzle solving and adventure exploration, delivering a classic 1987 sci‑fi experience. Developed by Hudson Soft and published by Jaleco, RoboWarrior remains a single‑player title that rewards strategic bomb placement and quick reflexes.
