Robot Odyssey [patched]

1985 · MS-DOS · The Learning Company

Robot Odyssey is a logic adventure game. You have been taken into Robotropolis, an underground city of robots. To escape, you must program your robot helpers Sparky, Checkers, and Scanner to solve the puzzles and escape. From Mobygames.com. Original Entry ******************* This is a patched version which makes the following changes to the Robot Odyssey engine: 1. The copy protection (which only works on 5.25" floppies) is disabled. Without this, the soldering iron will not function properly. 2. A frame rate limiter is installed. This prevents the game from running too fast under emulation. 3. The game's keyboard handler has been patched, so it now works with the normal (non-numeric-keypad) arrow keys. Without this patch, the shift-arrow combination (for walking slowly) only worked with the numpad arrows, so the game was impossible to play on a laptop. This patch also makes it possible to play without Caps Lock on. *******************
