Look at my first score from back at the end of January; all I could muster at first was 69,000 or so, and now I'm getting to and through that wave without having lost any men and I've only been playing it a few times a week.

I definitely prefer playing Robotron with the keyboard to playing (from what I remember anyway) the actual arcade game with the two joysticks. However, it doesn't really matter how comfortable you set up the controls for this game, it's still a bitch! haha & those circle-shaped Enforcers are swarming sons-of-bitches! You gotta take them out ASAP. Meanwhile, one must somehow rescue as many humans as possible, because that's where you get all the points; an extra player is awarded every 25,000.
Download (it only takes two minutes) the
MAME emulator and the
Robotron rom instead of playing the flash version if the flash isn't stable.
