Robotron Comes To X360 Live, Twitch Gamers Rejoice

robo.jpg Over at his blog, Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, the “Xbox Live Director of Programming” at Microsoft, has announced that Robotron 2084 is now available for download on the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service. The details page on Xbox.com explains handily of the Eugene Jarvis designed classic arcade title: "In Robotron: 2084, only you and a single family of clones remain. If mankind is to survive, you must destroy the Grunts, Brains, Enforcers, and Tanks—but avoid the indestructible Hulks at all cost. Can you withstand wave after wave of android invasion and rescue Mommy, Daddy, and Mikey … before it’s too late?" And, of course, two-player co-op is available, as well as networked high-scores. Darn, Xbox Live Arcade is getting tempting for fans of the frenetic multi-directional firefight, huh? (Though some purists claim that Robotron got a little mangled in translation.)
