Mr. Robot and His Robot Factory

(4.0)

1983

Mr. Robot and His Robot Factory is a platform game created for the Atari 8-bit family by Ron Rosen and published in 1983 by Datamost. The music was composed by Gary Gilbertson using Philip Price's Advanced Music Processor, while the title screen was drawn by Art Huff. It was ported to the Apple II by Robert McNally and to the Commodore 64. The gameplay is similar to that of Miner 2049er (1982). The player controls a humanoid robot that must traverse all of the platforms in a factory filled with ladders, conveyor belts, and other gadgetry. There are 22 levels, plus a built-in level editor. The robot is moved with either the keyboard or a joystick, and can make it walk side to side, climb up and down, and jump, collecting the white power pills from the platforms in the process. The player begins with four robots, and loses one if it falls too much or touches any of the fireball enemies. When one of the pulsing white rings scattered around the level is collected, the robot becomes temporarily invulnerable and can safely touch the fireballs, destroying them. In each level the player begins with 100 units of energy and loses units at a rate of about one per second, making quick completion of each level important. When the energy runs out, the player loses a robot.

I don't know what game gets credit for being the "original mario maker" but Mr. Robot has to be in the running. This came out in 1983 and I had this for my Commodore 64 and played the HECK out of it. It had a bunch of levels you could play that were already on the game, but then you could also go to the Factory part and create your own levels and play them. I remember spending so much time just making my own levels, dying, and then making more of them. It was a really unique game ahead of its time that doesn't get enough credit nowadays.
