Combots

Combots is a video game in the strategy genre and published by International PC Owners originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on DOS.

Combots is a below average BASIC game distributed only among IPCO members.

Due to the limitations of the BASIC language and early 1980's hardware, the game is little more than a quirky piece of PC nostalgia. From the MobyGames description: 'In Combots, two combat robots are put in an arena to see which one can hit its opponent the most times with a laser in the given time limit. To play, players program two Combots by giving them ten commands. There are three commands that the Combots can perform: move, turn, or shoot. The Combots will repeatedly follow your commands in the arena until the time runs out. (For example, you can program a combot to follow these commands: move, fire, move, fire, turn, move, turn, fire, move, fire, move, fire. The combot keeps performing these actions and you have to hope that when it fires your opponent is in the way at that time.) At the end of the time limit, the combot with the most hits' wins.
