Robotron

There aren't many games that have successfully followed on from Robotron - least of all the PS1 and N64 remakes.

However there are excellent games to be had - there's Bangai-O on N64 and Dreamcast, Geometry Wars on XBox and Wii, Smash TV on various (the SNES got an excellent port with NO slowdown and helped by the suitability of the controller), and Mutant Storm on PC(see pompomgames.com).

Thanks, Davy, I agree, though the PS3 and particularly the 360 are loaded with dual joystick games. I actually did mention the Mutant Storm series, though in reference to what was on the 360.

This chapter is actually done. Not great, but done. The publisher is having a conniption that we're not going to finish before the 27th, but there's really nothing we can do. They want the book for GDC in February.
