Robotron: 2084

Faithful port of a classic

This is a faithful port of the old classic with slightly updated graphics. If you remember playing this with quarters and enjoying it, then you'll still like it. If you don't appreciate simplistic graphics and gameplay with repeitive maps, then you won't and so shouldn't get it.

Some have said that the achievements are too hard. I would tend to agree with that to a certain extent. I can't imagine that many people that can actually make it to level 100. Also, there's never anybody around to co-op with, which is the same as all of the other 'classic' games. I would love to play online but unless you know somebody else and schedule a time, good luck.
