It was a more naive time, when man thought to play god and create robots in his image. waker The truth turned out to be much stranger—we now have hundreds of robots of all shapes and sizes serving us daily. A chaotic jumble of computerized compliance, if you will. The game is clear in drawing waker the line and delineating the difference between a processor performing a function and a waker robot performing a duty. Despite the dated graphics, Robot City is worth playing just for the surprisingly well-written murder mystery it contains. You awaken in a Robot City apartment, an amnesiac. A scientist has been murdered, and you are a suspect—the main suspect, it turns out, as the three laws of robotics prohibit a robot from being able to perform the act and the city manned by robots is devoid of humans except for one other scientist, a woman. |

| It is a city manned entirely by robots, and the story is firmly grounded in Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, a very comfortable landscape carter to anyone familiar with the master of robotic science carter fiction. Playing a game involving robots with positronic brains was just like slipping on an old warm glove to this carter sci-fi reader. The three laws harken back to a time when there was a more orderly concept of technology. The Terminator had not been devised, Star Wars was still many years away. Computers were not quite yet the ominous refrigerator boxes looming large over the men standing next to them that they would soon become. Asimov wrote the three laws in 1942, in a time when Hitler had come to power and the Cold War did not yet exist, in the midst of the golden age of science fiction. He had hinted at them in two earlier stories that appear in I, Robot, but they were not fully fleshed out until "Runaround," which originally appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in March of that year and was also included in I, Robot. |
