Play the arcade classic Robotron: 2084 on your Palm OS or Pocket PC handheld. It's the year 2084. The robots we created have turned against us, and the only thing standing between the human race and annihilation is you. Luckily, you happen to be a genetic superman with a multidirectional laser. Do battle against multiple enemy types like Grunts, indestructible Hulks, evil Brains, and more. Fight through more than 250 levels of robot-frying mayhem.

This game blew me away!
Remember going to the arcade as a kid, changing your allowance into quarters, and dropping it all into that one game? Remember obsessing over that game when you didn't have the money to play? Remember putting every ounce of your being into perfecting that game, just so you can have your initials at the top of the high score list? Now you can have that feeling again, but this time you can experience it without the acne scarred face - just load Robotron 2049 into your Palm device!

Robotron drips with nostalgia and reeks of bygone memories. Nonetheless, behind that haze of nostalgia is solid gameplay and an amazing audio-visual experience. The graphics and sound of Robotron easily stands up to any Gameboy game. The bright neon image of hordes of killer robots will be burned into your retinas after hours of playing. The ultra realistic humans will have you scrambling to their rescue. The haunting sound effects will make you jump out of your chair. The sound of saving a relieved human will bring tear to your eye. Best of all, the constant sound of your laser gun will provide an aural experience you won't soon forget!

Robotron isn't all flash and crash, though - The gameplay is timeless fun. Destroying an endless stream of dastardly robots while saving the last human family over and over will provide hours upon hours of gameplay. Wave after wave of shooting and running will keep you glued to your Palm device. You'll never get tired of the frantic button pressing. You'd better clear your Palm's calendar, because you won't want appointment alerts interrupting Robotron's adrenaline filled gameplay! In fact, you might want to think about quitting your job! I just hope that's not the company's Palm you're using! Ha ha ha!

So clear your Palm, clear your desk, and clear your schedule, because you're going to love Robotron! Killing robots hasn't been this fun since Dr. Who fought the Daleks. Relive your childhood and let your life slip away - the Robots are coming!
