"I, Robot is a weird game, but one that feels effortlessly engaging and rewarding once it gets its hooks into you. The psychedelic presentation can be a bit tough to parse at first, but you can remove a lot of it via the options, and once you get to grips with the gameplay and what each level is asking of you, I, Robot reveals an incredible amount of depth that you'll spend hours uncovering as you work to increase your score. This isn't a remake we were particularly begging to see, but it's one we're very thankful for."

About

Robot Pong is a pixelated paddle game that adds mechanical flair to the classic Pong formula. You face off against an opponent in a back-and-forth battle to keep the ball in play, with each side trying to outwit automated defenses that patrol the court. The Atari 2600 version strips away complexity for pure reflex-based action, requiring quick adjustments to return shots and avoid losing the rally. This 1977 release stands out as one of the earliest examples of Pong evolution on home consoles. As part of the Atari 2600’s original Video Olympics lineup, it helped shape early arcade-style competition. Though simple by today’s standards, its direct gameplay and competitive edge made it a hit during the dawn of home gaming. Nostalgic players still appreciate its raw, no-frills approach to paddle-based showdowns.
