Rise of the Robots

Description

You are a cyborg handyman in the far away future sent to a huge megacorporation where an evil AI has taken control of the companies robots. You are charged with facing these robots in combat and eliminating them one by one to reach the core and deactivate the AI.

Gameplay wise this is a standard beat-em-up with gorgeous graphics. It has some annoying limitations like not being able to jump over your enemy and only one fire button.

Trivia

A sequel was in development back in late 1995 for the PlayStation and Saturn systems which was going to feature 18 new robots along with the ability to use weapons and projectiles. The game was never completed, possibly due to the universal criticism on its predecessor.
