Bottom Line: Good story, worthy of the master himself. Most of the game depends on conversation trees, and the logic is the key. Good graphics and sound, but could have been a bit better. Minimum requirements should include a fast Windows accelerator, or a faster processor to make up for it.

Robot City was a blast to play. Challenging without being too complex, and with a surprisingly engrossing story, Robot City is a forgotten gem that you should grab if you see and give a whirl.

Wie es sich für ein "Literaturspiel" dieser Art gehört, liegt die Stärke in der Story. Über kleinere Schwächen in der Umsetzung, wie das schwierige Positionieren oder das etwas nervige "nie endende Labyrinth", sieht man zugunsten des spannenden Gameplays gerne hinweg. Kenner der Robotik-Grundregeln haben einen Heimvorteil.

Genauso wie der "Film zum Buch" ist ein Spiel zu einem Buch meistens eine Enttäuschung. "Robot City" kann die Erwartungen des "Lesers" jedoch sehr gut erfüllen. Sieht man mal von dem abgegriffenen Amnesie-Trick ab, dann bietet das Spiel sowohl eine interessante Handlung, wie auch eine detailliert ausgearbeitete Welt mit vielen Hintergrundinformationen.

Quandary
You point and click your way around in Myst-like fashion. The graphics are typical of the game's age (1995); and the colours are fairly flat. The game only uses about two-thirds of the computer screen, and the game play window is limited to another two thirds of that. The rest of the game screen is utilised by the game commands, including the conversation options, and a Comlink screen. You can learn a lot about the city in questioning the robots or you can limit your knowledge to the essentials. It took me about 10 - 12 hours.
