Robbo is an older but very good Boulder Dash like puzzle game for the holiday originally designed by the polish talent named Janusz Pelc for Atari 8-bit computers.
ROBBO is originally a game for the 8-Bit Atari and was ported to the C64 in 1993 with 76 new levels added. There are ports for various other platforms as well. Still, it is relatively unknown on the C64.
In this cute game you need to control the little robot Robbo through planets in order to collect a preset number of bolts scattered around and then reach a capsule that takes the hero to the next planet.
In 1993, LK Avalon published a Commodore 64 port of the game, developed by high-school student Sebastian Nowak. This version contains 76 new levels, and some additional types of objects not found in the original.
On his way Robbo must avoid deadly obstacles that include moving creatures, laser turrets, and large magnets. Various items can be found, including keys that open doors, bullets that kill enemies and destroy impassable walls of rubble, crates that can be pushed, bombs that explode upon being shot, and mirrors that teleport the hero around the level.
You can still buy the new Collector’s Edition of this great game from Protovision – it seems now only 3 units are in stock so you need to hurry but may there will be more in the future.
