Hi to all,
I have been looking for afew days now for a game that I used to play in 97-98.
it consisted of building a small robot, and accomplishing some missions.
I remember vaguely that it was inside a cantina, and you had to make missions like take some objects and place them elsewhere etc... there was no fighting of robots.

In my head the name was "robots", but I can't seem to find anything.

If anybody could help me, it would be great!
thanks in advance

Maybe it is! there was some kind of coding to do, if I remember well! you know which game it is?

No, I'm afraid not and it it really was aimed at the education market (for use in schools etc.) it might not be something many people have heard of
The only ones I can remember at the moment are the Mission: Control games from Sherston Software but they were set in exotic locations like a rainforest and such...

Was it anything like this:

Hello,
it's not Runawayrobot. I'm pretty sure it included a step where you build the robot and add accessories before doing the mission

Redfern: I played it in 98 for sure (windows 98, not DOS). so it's older than this!
