Robotron: 2084

Robotron: 2084 is a 1–2 player TRS-80 CoCo conversion of the original arcade game.

Inspired by his never ending quest for progress, in 2084 man perfects the Robotrons. A robot species so advanced that man is inferior to his own creation. Guided by their infallible logic, the Robotrons conclude: the human race is inefficient, and therefore must be destroyed.

You are a mutant human, who by some freak of nature has the ability to shoot energy pulses from his body in eight different directions! Your job is to save humanity from their own creation. The player can move and fire in any of eight directions. You get thrown in a room with various evil baddies strewn about, you've got to kill all the susceptible robots while at the same time finding some way to grab humans and avoid death. Indestructible hulk robots can not be killed, and they seek out and kill humans. Quarks produce tanks, which fire projectiles that bounce around the screen. Brains can reprogram humans into progs, which become enemy units.
