Action
A manic maze runner & gunner, where you roam endless electrified corridors blasting through overwhelming hordes of trigger happy killbots for as long as you can until your inevitable and gruesome demise. Gameplay rewards twitch reflexes *or* careful methodical planning; the robots are aggressive and legion to make up for being quite stupid, and can be tricked into shooting each other, colliding into each other, or colliding into walls. Evil Otto, the smiling, bouncing, invulnerable and inscrutable terminator, will pursue you relentlessly, gleefully plowing through walls and robots, should you stay in one place too long. Groundbreaking voice synthesis ("GOT THE HUMANOID GOT THE INTRUDER") contributes menace.
