Well, there was a load of these in the RW:ED thread, and I just found some BattleBots ROMs (always wanted to play them) so I thought a collective thread could be useful :P

I found them all online or in other threads.

These all open with Visual Boy Advance (can be downloaded as part of the Robot Wars Bundle)

I bought Battlebots: Design and Destroy, the game is decent to say the most.

I own a physical copy of Beyond the Battlebox. It was such a huge disappointment. Sure, it's a little better than the first Robot Arena game, but it still sucks. Why are there no real physics?

Physics engines are expensive, so they just code it to work
have you ever noticed that when you fight ziggo, all you have to do is push, and he flips over?

The BattleBots games suck. The look better but the Robot wars games are better to play. I laughed so hard when I played the GBC RW game: Crasha Gnasha attacks with its tail! xD

JoeBlo · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2010, 10:04:58 AM »

a friend gave me a GBC emulator and over 1000 roms years ago :P

I have VBA with only the robot wars games I posted, the 2 battlebots games (I don't see any difference between them) and Kingdom Hearts

I have a snes emulator which I use legally.. that is with games I own,

Thyrus · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2010, 10:11:19 AM »

I think the main difference betwee both battlebots games is the intro.

whenever I try to open them, it says there is no program to open it, what should I do

Interestingly it didn't stop Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction on the GBA having better physics then both of the console/PC games.

but all RW and BB games for gameboy suck. RW has no physics and Battlebots... I can beat the first two bots but there`s no way to beat the third.
