Cripes! Another alien invasion? Not if the Robo Warrior has anything to do with it, matey. He's been specially built, to stave off just this sort of event - and no sooner has he been completed than those devilish intruders march in and start terrorising all and sundry.

The aliens have been very cunning in choosing their base sites - each one is situated at the middle of a naturally mazed area, which the Robo Warrior has to clear a path through if he is to have any hope of suppressing the enemy onslaught. Using his supply of bombs and a laser gun with which to deter the baddies guarding the passages, Robo Warrior is fighting against time - if his energy runs out and he has no backup batteries then both he and the future of the planet are, well, up the creek. Luckily extra batteries can be uncovered along the way, as well as bits of equipment including candles, missiles, superbombs waterproof wellies to let Robo wade through water.

Hmmmm. Difference of opinion between me and the rest of the folks on this one. I don't like it; the rest of them do. It certainly looks very jolly, even though there's little variation from level to level.

And it's very difficult too; perhaps that's why I couldn't get worked up and some out in a hot flush about Robo Warrior - what some people would call a challenge I would term a frustratingly hard game. The "challenge" overcame me at a very early stage, and I quickly found myself getting rather bored with blowing up maze walls and ending up being destroyed by my own bombs.

Perhaps the best advice I can give is have a go of Robo Warrior before you dig deep into your wallet - it may grab you by the necessities and not let go: then again, it might squeeze just a bit too tightly.
