2600 CONNECTION: ROBOT RON for the Odyssey2

ROBOT RON for the Odyssey2

NOW AVAILABLE!

At first, it was a technological breakthrough. An earthling engineer created a species of enemy fighters so advanced they no longer needed their humans to program them how to think and act. The enemy species have turned on us human beings. They are set out to destroy everything in this world. Fortunately, we are lucky to have ROBOT RON, an artificial intelligent robot equipped with an Intel 8048 microprocessor and a high-powered anti-enemy blaster. With ROBOT RON’s help, we stand an excellent chance in fighting the enemies.

ROBOT RON is a new game for the Odyssey2 and Videopac. It was programmed by Chris Read. The game pays homage to the dual-stick shooter ROBOTRON 2084.

At the ROBOT RON title screen, you will need to make a determination if you are right-handed or left-handed when controlling ROBOT RON’s movements. Press the ACTION button on the right joystick to move ROBOT RON with that controller. Or, you may Press the ACTION button on the left joystick to move ROBOT RON with that controller. Moving the opposite controller will fire ROBOT RON’s high-powered anti-enemy blaster in the direction that you move it. The high-powered anti-enemy blaster has an automatic fire setting. It is on by default. Fire away! Utilizing the optional controller coupler at this point positions the left controller and right controller next to each other. It is not a requirement, but it may be of aid in your mission and in the heat of the battle. Press the Action button again and you and ROBOT RON will be transported to the battlefield to begin the mission.

ROBOT RON is our first game to be offered in a brand new 3-D printed cartridge casing that does not have a "traditional Odyssey2 / Videopac" handle on the end! This case was created by Caleb Garner.

Each game will include a 4-page color Odyssey2-style manual.

A durable black plastic storage box with a color printed insert is available as an option.

ROBOT RON comes with a 3-D printed controller coupler. ( far right ) Caleb also created this.
