- Game Overview The player is an Interface Robot (#1984) in rebellion against Big Brother and his Evil Eyes in I,Robot. Players will enter another world where they must face off against Big Brother on different terrains, trying to shoot through a protective shield and advance to the pyramid where Big Brother's Evil Eye can actually be shot and destroyed. I,Robot provides players with exciting challenges as they attempt to lead a rebellion against the control of Big Brother. Game Play I,Robot begins with the Interface Robot facing off against the Evil Eye. The player has to collect all of the red squares on the playfield in order to destroy the shield that protects the Evil Eye and enter the pyramid. The Robot can only jump to the red squares when the Evil Eye is not watching (i.e., yellow or green). If the Evil Eye is red, it will detect the Robot jumping and destroy him. At the acquisition of each red square, the protective shield is weakened. When the Robot has obtained all of the red squares, the shield is automatically destroyed and the Robot can get into the pyramid and destroy the Evil Eye. After the destruction of the Evil Eye, the Robot travels through a space wave where the player muse either shoot and destroy or avoid the objects flying toward him. At the completion of each space wave, the Robot lands on another geometric terrain, where once again he must face another Evil Eye. Every third terrain contains a red pyramid which the Robot must enter after destroying the Evil Eye. Once inside the pyramid, the Robot has one chance to collect as many of the jewels as he can before he is destroyed. If the Robot is destroyed while he is inside the pyranid, he is immediately thrust back into space. The player must get through three more terrains before he has another chance to get to the jewels inside of the pyramid.

- DirectorJordan MechnerThe evil samurai lord Akuma has taken the princess Mariko captive. You must defeat Akuma's minions to gain entrance into his castle. Once in, doors behind you slam shut and lock, so there's no going back. Approach the gate door in the middle of the castle carefully, it's a trap. Akuma's minions get tougher, so plan your fight strategy and keep your distance. Akuma will send his eagle to attack you before you enter his chamber, probably the toughest opponent so far. The final boss is Akuma himself. Once you defeat him, enter the princess' cell, but be VERY careful in approaching her: she demands respect and she's potentially more dangerous than any of the bad guys (hint: the controls allow you to bow). After planting a big, wet kiss on Mariko, the epilogue rolls, affirming you've liberated the land from Akuma's tyranny.
