Robomaze

Robomaze is a video game in the action genre and published by MVP Software originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on DOS.

Robomaze is a top-down maze exploration and shooting game, and the first in the Robomaze trilogy.

The player has to drive a robot through a maze by moving from room to room, collecting bullets and rockets, shooting at other robots to survive, as well as shooting at walls to get through parts of the maze. There are 3 weapons, which are standard bullets, rockets and a laser. Each weapon requires its own ammunition, additional ammunition is dropped by enemies when they die or sometimes hidden inside the walls. Rooms have all sorts of different walls, blue walls bounce bullets, some walls require rockets to be fired. Some rooms have two teleport chambers, enter one to exit the other, this can be used to pass unbreakable walls. All enemies, as well as damage to walls, resets each time the player re-enters a room. Presumably the ultimate goal is to find a way out of the maze.

The game features tank-like controls, i. e. press left and right (J and L keys) to turn, and press I to activate the engine or K to stop the engine, i. e. move forward or stand still. Press the space bar to shoot and the return key to switch to the next weapon. Each time the player is hit a life is lost, all lives are lost and the game is over, however there are effectively infinite continues. Continuing the game will restart and respawn all enemies, but the passages the player has shot through the wall as well as the player's position are not reset.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
