Played via the Midway Arcade Origins collection on Xbox 360
A good majority of my pre-1990s game knowledge is second-hand because I haven't liked a majority of the games I've played before that era, but god DAMN if Robotron isn't a cut above its contemporaries. While not the first twin-stick shooter to make it to market, it's understandable why Robotron is as highly regarded and remembered as opposed to its predecessors in the genre. I will certainly return for more robot-blasting action in the future, be it through this exact collection or any other versions I may take a gander at in the future.
I frankly couldn't imagine trying to play any console port made before the existence of twin-stick controls, though.
