Robot War

Robot War is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Muse Software and published by Muse Software originally released in 1981. It is currently playable on Apple II.

RobotWar, one of the best games ever created in any genre, is a hybrid masterpiece of strategy, puzzle and simulation by Silas Warner, creator of Castle Wolfenstein for MUSE Software.

The game is best described as a cross between two later games: Origin's OMEGA and Maxis' RoboSport: your task is to design robots and program them to win arena battles. Using a language similar to BASICA, the game offers a surprisingly large number of commands you can use, a large variety of robots, and a lot of replay value and replayability. The game interface takes some getting used to, but the learning curve is not excessive, and the manual lays out the basics very clearly. In short, if you enjoy programming robots or find OMEGA too complex, RobotWar is a must-play game. It has made CGW's prestigious list of the top 150 games of all time, and deservedly so.
