One of my favorite childhood games: The Game of Robot by TOM Productions. German shareware action adventure. Bit like Zelda meets Boulderdash and Robots (UNIX)

@[email protected] this is exactly the kind of shareware adventure game i'd love to see made with #exigy some day. thank you!

Also: this is one of the few games that were actually targeted for the EGA 640x350 mode. Also supported Hercules in monochrome. I spent countless hours on the Shareware version as a kid, which had a nag screen appearing after a certain score, making it unplayable. But I loved it. It was a success to get further into the next room.

@[email protected] I played that as a kid, too! Had it in a shareware collection called "Sharebert's MegaPack Spiele".

@[email protected] Oh, I know this one! Played it in the early days but it was always too quick for me to react properly. Maybe my PC was too fast at these days.
