Robowarrior

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robowarrior is an overhead-view action game (with puzzle game elements) for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released by Jaleco in 1988 and developed by Hudson Soft the previous year. The Famicom version of Robowarrior was titled Bomber King, and it has been suggested that the game is loosely linked to the Bomberman series.

Robowarrior takes place on an alien planet named Altile. Players pilot a cyborg named ZED (an acronym for Z-type Earth Defence) as he raids Altile to fight the Xantho empire and destroy its leader, Xur. ZED uses bombs to hurt enemies, destroy his surroundings, and uncover various hidden items. To progress from one period (level) to the next, he must find a number of keys to open a locked door.
