Re: Robot Odyssey

Yeah, it was a good game.  Maybe I should say "is" a good game.  I remember 
buying it after playing the first two of the series, Gertrude's puzzles and 
Rocky's Boots.  I've always been into electronics and Rocky's Boots helped 
start my learning.  Robot Odyssey was pure electronics logic in a learning 
game format.  Rocky's Boots was more of a combination of things, one of them 
being very "basic" electronics.

I can remember building IC circuits in Robot Odyssey and wiring them up to 
make robots do tasks that the humans couldn't.  It's a great learning game 
and I would highly recommend it.  Don't think that you will finish it in a 
few days.  It took me many weeks to finally finish it.  You can also cheat 
by entering a robot and manually doing things, but even that type of 
cheating is VERY hard to do.

Enjoy!  You may even learn something, I did.
