Last week end at a french convention,
I played Robotron with another guy
he was moving the character and I was shooting with another joystick
one game and we went to level 22 (I think)

Hi,
I see the link to download isn't working. I can e-mail it to you. It's about 7meg, to large to post here...

Robotron is one of those 7800 games that makes that system worth owning. Love it.

Definitely. Probably my most-played game on the system. Doing it Co-op sounds like hell, though.

I love 7800 Robotron with the dual-joystick 2600 holder and sticks. Only way to play it! But I like the notion of playing it cooperatively. I'll have to try it with the GF someday, but I know what'll end up happening... she suck at it and piss me off. :lol:

Hands down of my game collection of about 6000 games, my favorite of all time.

Co-op is a blast and I recommend it to all people.

Most importantly, the game is relatively cheap, so people that want to hunt down an original it will not cost a ton.

Looks like I need to get my hands on an Atari 7800... I has a gf that I bet that would love to give this a go.

I don't know why I never thought of this before, sounds like it'll be a blast!

Sounds like it'll be just as much fun on the arcade cabinet this way also. I'll have to do this in MAME. :)
