Storyline
When can you exit the level?
There is a transporter room in every settlement. However, to prevent unauthorized robots from leaving the area, the transporter systems have been remotely programmed not to activate until all robots have been destroyed. Once you have destroyed all robots, you will see the transporter pad activate, then you can step onto it to complete the level.
Brains or Brawns?
At first glance, Attack of the PETSCII Robots might look like an action shooter game. However, it’s really not. Think of it more of a strategy and exploration game. While you are given weapons to fight with, you will never win if you try to fight the robots head on in battle.
The Inquisitive mind
The way to victory is by examining each robot situation as a strategy. In most cases there will be a way to defeat every robot without engaging with them in a head on battle. The trick is learning to find all of the right tools, and learning how to use them. By following this manual, you will be properly prepared.
