Rob Fulop

Actionauts (the early working name was “Microbots”) consists of two screens. The main play screen features a single robot in a simple playfield maze, a “target”, in this case a piece of cheese, and a vertically scrolling command display at the bottom of the screen. Every time a command rolls off the screen, the robot ‘executes’ that command. Player control in this mode is limited to setting the speed of the system, indicated at the bottom right, and starting/stopping the robot’s execution of it’s commands. The object of the game is to create the proper sequence of instructions so that the Robot reaches the cheese.
