I bought this game in 2002 for $22, which is about $21.99 more than what I probably should have paid for it.
You’re able to build the design that you want, assuming that your dream robot is something that can be made from about twenty prefabricated parts and weapons and five different chassis each with about eight specific locations where you can put something.
There’s a fat black boxing has-been and a half-man half-robot gimmick, but the winner of the Most Idiotic Enemy Ever goes to my main man The Infamous B.A.D.. No, he’s not some smooth rapping dark skinned fellow, he’s a wigger complete with a backwards cap and a peach fuzz mustache that screams out “I’m thirteen years old and I get uncomfortable erections in math class.”
Overall: Robot Arena was the first true game devoted to the budding genre of robot combat simulators. Because it’s the charter title of the genre it’s impossible for me to say “Robo Cockfighting Battle X is a better game” because there were no previous games to compare it to. However being able to call dibs on a new genre is no excuse to **** everything up and capitalize on being the game with the monopoly in the gaming world. I give Gabriel Interactive huge props for having the balls to explore uncharted and incredibly popular territory with a game this broken, but as you can see with Robot Arena 2 Gabriel Interactive is one of the few developers who learn from their mistakes and went on to effectively set the bar for what robot combat games should be with Robot Arena 2... even if their sequel was the last robot combat game ever made (great timing).
I remember AW from AceUplink modded RA1 so you could ATTACH the fork lift but it didn't actually do anything. Letdown of the year.
