Androids is a maze game in which you run down endless corridors to find an exit. Lurking Androids will fire at you if you get in their line of sight unless you shoot and destroy them first.

The encounters use up your stock of lives and fire power but you can restock at points around the maze. You score points for Androids hit, and for finding an exit.

A useful option allows the control keys to be reset to your choice: just the thing for joystick users. An unusual feature is the offer by the publishers of cash prizes for high scores.

The maze is extensive and only the part you are in is shown, so a good memory helps. The Androids are not exactly fearsome, but the man is realistic and agile. No speed or difficulty choice is given, but this does not detract from the game.
