Tags: °retronThis looks like a really interesting game, but I cannot get it to run on my system.

It is a 2005 remake of a 1986 8bit game where you control droids through a shattered city while being yourself trapped in a bunker below surface. The droids can hack into terminals and each other, so you can gather more powerful or specialised droids for certain tasks. The ultimate goal is to open the bunker seal and free yourself.

Weird error when I click the link: "Error: insert into tblRefer (datevisit,refer,gameId) values ('110220-201522','https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=2401.msg0','-10')"

Probably just as well; I don't really have time to try it anyway.

I fixed the link. Although it wasn't really broken, but some weird referrer control forces people to visit the main page first. Anyway, it's there in the bottom right, under "Download RamPaks".

Okay, I just played this on a different computer.
It starts in a building with mysterious ambient music but you quickly find yourself in some intense action with other robots on the street. The graphics are very well done, reminiscent of TRON, as you can see in the screenshots. It's fast and easy to play, although the interface might take some reading of the included quickstart PDF.

I suggest to get the patch from the page on top of the game download, because although it says the patch was for those with an earlier game version, the patched files are clearly of different sizes and of more recent date.
