Producer: Atlantis Software Ltd Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £1.99 Language: Machine code Author: Simon P. Ralfe Another budget-priced game from Atlantis for those with a quick hand and fast eyes. Your object is to help Rory Robot stop the rebel robots from gaining control of a complex. To do this you need to collect all the power gems from the various rooms in the game and escape to the next room. Each screen is composed of five platforms of varying lengths and each positioned differently. In each platform are two power gems which can be collected. Between the platforms enemy robots sail along at speed, bouncing back and forth. Rory starts 'off at the bottom (the only safe spot) and the idea is to nip up and run over the power gems then get out of the way of the other robots. When gems are collected, the resulting hole left in the platform can be used to get up higher, although it is always possible to nip up the edges of the screen round the ends of the platforms as well. When all the gems on a screen have been collected an exit appears at the bottom of the screen for Rory to leave by. Each room has a different layout of platforms and each time you play a game the screens are randomly altered. By room 15 the rebels are getting angrier and life becomes more difficult. COMMENTS Control keys: O/P left/right, Q/Z up/down Joystick: Kempston Keyboard play: sensible positions, a little finicky on movement of Rory Use of colour: average Graphics: average, but quite fast Sound: simple with some tunes Skill levels: 1 Lives: 4

'You' are the paler robot at the centre of the screen in ROBOT RUMPUS. Gems to be collected are left on the top two platforms.
