the only problem with your rantis that Robocod is an immensely playable, great fun game. It just happens to have shiny bright graphics, too :)
(also, the C64 version of Robocod was available on cassette and 5.25' disk. Retro enough for you? :)

HeheheI'm not singling Robocod out... my brother loved it, which considering he was 6 or 7 shows how easy it was to play.
didn't realise they still made C64 games when it came out!

Yes.Commercial games for the C64 were being released as late as 1995 or so. The C64 it self was in production from 1982 right up to the early 1990s, and I believe the only longer-running system is the Atari 2600 (clones of which are still made today).
According to the Guinness book of records, the C64 is the biggest selling model of computer, with over 22 million units world wide (and no the "PC" doesn't count, since its an architecture not a single computer model).
Anyway, Robocod followed the key to a good game as set out by Nolan Bushnell (the guy who started Atari, for those that don't know) himself, "Easy to play, hard to master".
