I first heard about RA2 when I was on youtube, and I saw some videos on RA2 and I thought it was interesting. I later played the demo, and then I bought the game, and the I joined the forums.

What's your story?

I already made a thread like this a while ago

I've never seen such a thread; if you can find it, I'll move this post.

I've always been a Robot Wars fan, and after I played the Robot Wars PC games, I felt somewhat unsatisfied by the lack of freedom to design, and the clunky, uninteresting battles. Then I saw

The description was: "Also impressive! Reminds me of playing Robot Arena 2." And I thought to myself "If there's a computer game that allows you to do that, I've GOT to have it."

Well, I think I was wathing Robot wars videos and saw some video of RA2 and then I went to the Pirate Bay. not much luck finding it from seaching, but one torrent was barely alive about 100 pages back. Thats where I got it.

I had the RA1 CD and one day decided to go on the website.

I saw mine on display in the "new releases" section of a local department store about a week after it came out.

I was an insane battlebots nut when I was ten, and found the game then. Didn't buy it until many years later, though.

Starting playing RA1 again and came across RA2 on the web.

I was quite a fan of BattleBots, Robotica, and Robot Wars when one day I came across Robot Arena at a school book fair, which was usually just books and other educational crap, but I decided to try it. I thought the game was ok, but not the best I'd ever played, so it sat on my computer desk mostly. A year or so passed and one day, I ran acrossed Robot Arena 2 (seems like it was at a book fair as well). I bought it and loved it, but like any other game, it got boring and i quit playing. Then just recently I got the urge to play it again. I played it for a while, but then inadvertantly found the online RA2 community and DSL 2.1. I have never been more in love with a game.

So that's my story.

I was a huge fan of battlebots, i saw a game called robot arena. I got it, didn't like, then i saw robot arena 2. I got it, and it was so awesome, but, i lost the CD and i forgot about it, then in 05, i found it and played again. That's when i heard of GTM, but, a glitch happened and i could never get out of the game. Then i forgot about it again. Then, in march, my brother downloaded RA2, then i got my own, and that's what puts me here today.

ACAMS, you should not post here, cause you're 'off topic'. You should start your own showcase (once you get better). And you shouldn't brag about your "Awesomebot1" beating Emergency,... else you'll get flamed real quickly around here (just ask Venko). And also you're lucky Naryar isn't around to see all of that wasted space in your bot.

BTW: Beware of the owner of this site... Y'all bess not cross 'em.

My son intro-ed the game to me....
