Plot

The player is a mutant scientist trapped in another dimension trying to save the last human family. His mutant powers allow him to defeat the evil robots that are trying to kill all of humanity.

Gameplay

Robotron 64 uses the dual-stick control scheme of the original Robotron. The player can either play with two controls or with one controller using the C-buttons to shoot.

The soundrack consist of electronica and techno music.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Nintendo 64 version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "new bosses and power-ups, hundreds of levels, and a decent nonstop techno soundtrack, and this tiny 4MB cart stands as proof that size isn't everything – it's what you do with it that counts, it still may not improve on the original, but it's much better than expected."[4]
