Robotron 64 review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge.
This was the first game I ever worked on back in '97! Good times.
Fun fact: You can use two N64 controllers at the same time, so you can use one joystick for moving and the other for shooting.
+frogspasm2000 always love seeing workers pop up on videos from time to time - this would no doubt have been a fun game to work on
May I ask you a question? Was it difficult programming for the N64?
This game is Hella fun to play even in 2019.
You can also play Goldeneye and Perfect Dark with a dual controller setup for two thumbsticks
playing this with 2 controllers is the best thing ever,.. you miss out on so much just using the c-pad,.. literally, because it takes many angles away from you lol
Purchased this game during the week for 10euro. Looking forward to playing it now after this review. I never heard of this game until I start trying to collect all PAL region n64 titles. My favourite console of all time. Looks like a fun game.
You don't hear many people talking about the N64. Def getting a subscribe from me, I really enjoyed this console growing up and the graphical style now has a total charm for me. great console, great reviews.
Thank you, yeah I'm purely n64 and you are right...I'm one of the few covering it. I prefer to look at games etc that weren't the ones everyone remembers so I often don't do the big titles still
LOVE this game! This is a retro game done right. Thanks for the video.
I love this game too
Can't believe I didn't know about Robotron until recently. Good time. This version is what a "modern" arcade port should be like... gameplay is exactly like the 1982 arcade, no bullshit.
Never even heard of it, looks like a good game I'll have to keep my eye out for. Thanks for the review.
I remember playing this game for what felt like hours with my uncle when I was a kid. Then one day he picked up a multi-game arcade cabinet for his basement that had the original on it, which was my introduction to a ton of classic titles.
He passed away from a brain tumor a couple of years back. Revisiting this really makes me miss those simpler days.
Sorry to hear of your loss but hopefully this led to some memories of better times returning
Robotron is more like N64 on ecstacy than acid.
Have just ordered this game! Looks great
It plays how it sounds and looks if that makes any sense 👍
it's good to see someone talk about this game! i have always really enjoyed this one, but it always seems to go forgotten by alot of people. if you ever get the chance, try robotron 2084 on the 7800. i would say thats my favorite robotron game, just barely beating this one. keep up the great videos man!
Robotron 64 was an excellent game. While the two player mode was fairly lacking, it was still fun to see who could get the farthest. Also the bosses were ridiculous and each must have cost me around 15-20 lives. Good fun.
I remember the Christmas I got this game. I had never heard of the original or this iteration until that day. We didn't have a lot of money when I was a child and my parents had to save months in order for me to have this title. I played it to death. Over 200 levels and hours of arcade style fun. I loved it. Although I got frustrated around 170 mark with the levels.
Meu amigo acompanho o seu canal sou fã do Nintendo 64 pra o melhor console já feito, adquiro um jogo original por mês, aqui no Brasil ainda é bastante alto o valor dos cartuchos
I've been frantically trying to remember what this game was from vague memories of renting it for a weekend. Thank you lol.
glad I could help!
Thanks for reviewing this game! I've seen Robotron 64 all around at every used game store near here, but I didn't pick it up because I wasn't sure if it was any good. I'll go pick one up and give it a go!
I suddenly remembered this game out of nowhere. I used to rent it as a kid and couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was called until recently
Just made my first ever subscription!
I have the same N64 console my parents gave me as a birthday gift back in 1997, and to this day I still enjoy playing the old games together with a few newcomers. Really appreciate the great work on your UA-cam channel. The N64 was a big part of my childhood, so watching your videos constantly brings me back in a nostalgic way. Once again thank you for an amazing job!
P.S. Would you mind making a review of Gauntlets Legends?
Good review. I played this game back then and thought it was pretty fun. You could can hook up two controllers and use one stick to move and the other to shoot.
I loved this game.
And I still do.
I love this game still have my copy and i still bust it out for a quick game session
Thank you for this review I love this game I thought I hated it after a while but I came back to it and I love it it's so addicting for some reason and so simple!
never played robotron even tho im an arcade lover looks very addictive. is there a save feature do you just have to play till you die or give up. i know you said levels are short but i can see myself playing this for hours lol.
Probably one of the games who gave me on of the best arcades nostalgia. But unfortunately the game wasn't so quite well sold in Europe. And in conclusion i'm agree with you about the game capacity. They could give him more strength to the game hardware. A must to reminds the 80's.
Great review, it was cool to see this one reborn again.
Graphics look a bit washy but I don't think it matters too much on this one as it looks like gameplay is quality ! Nice review again Glenn :-)
This game on acid is crazy
Plays better on one controller when you use Dpad to walk and analog for analog directional fire :-)
awesome quick review buddy! i actually just bout this game, so it was neat to see what its all about. ill have to try it soon
Back in the late 90s people didn't go for retro or 2D games, so I doubt this sold very much. I certainly wasn't interested in it - all I cared for were graphical intense and original playing titles which pushed the system to its limits. Interesting how retro gaming became popular again a decade later...
This N64 version is a port of the PlayStation game "Robotron X", that was released two years earlier. It's almost exactly the opposite of what happened to "Space Station Silicon Valley" which was later ported to PlayStation as "Evo's Space Adventure". "Space Station Silicon Valley" was great but the side scrolling Game Boy Color version of 'SSSV', was like the PS1 'Evo' game only released in Europe. :-(
I'm loving your recent uploads, we share the same passion for the N64, that's for sure.
My favorite N64 game. It really is.
It’s very addictive isn’t it
I remember when this game came out. I wasn't the slightest bit impressed with it. I scoffed that the visuals and simplistic gameplay and had never played the arcade original at that time. I have since then played the arcade original and I didn't get very attached to it. However I did pick Robotron 64 up just recently for only 2 bucks and have to agree that the N64 remake is much more exciting and fun over the original. The game really starts to rail on you past level 60.
playing this with 2 controllers is the best thing ever,.. you miss out on so much just using the c-pad,.. literally, because it takes many angles away from you lol
This looks ok. It's pretty much what i would expect for robotron but i feel like on the n64 they could have atleast came up with some larger levels and new modes on top of just having the classic one with new graphics.
Do you know if this game has an end or is it just one of those games that keeps going forever?
very fond of the one. The key is that it feels like the original to play. Only issue for me is that a game can last a bit too long for the style of gameplay.
This game has almost no replay value. It's also a lot easier than the original, I never was able to get past level 10 of the original and I was able to clear this whole game of over 100 levels.
Never seen this game before, reminds me of Geometry Wars on XBLA.
I was never keen on this. All my mates loved it though, so I seem to be in the vast minority when it comes to ROBOTRON64. The best shooter, by a mole, was sun & punishment!
When Glen plant took 12 years between statements
And 4 hours to reply to comments 😂
Never played this game. Hope I find one to give it a go.
Haven't played it, but it is on my list.
yeah if you like the original arcade game then you'd love this as its just as addicting
You don't seem to be doing much rescuing. :)
That’s my autistic nature letting others suffer 😂
Dog this was my game on ps1 I didn't know IT was on here and didn't know the name .. I was 9 when I had it
Always pleased to help someone remember a fun game they loved 😬
Thanks, if you are into N64 check out my top 20 n64 videos, it was done a while back before I got more into editing, but I guess it's pretty decent.
Ah, this a good one! if only they had made good updates to space invaders and asteroids :(
There's Space invaders for the n64 and Asteroids for the playstation
+Bowlstir I should have put more emphasis on "good" LOL
Not sure about the PlayStation ones to be fair
Thanks, not being pushy ha, just thought you might enjoy.
Best game to listen to MSI while playing
Sparkster8044 i don't know what MSI is sorry
It's a band, Mindless Self Indulgence. Newer "punk" styled music with electronic elements. Made for and by people with ADD/ADHD
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon! Review that!
....nah, i don´t like that angle of the stage....
+retrovideogamejunkie yea that makes it look like a mess when the screen fills up.
where is the on acid part
YOU'RE GETTING OLDER AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
Much older now! 🤣
