They Lied to Us (2022x11)

: 22, 2022

In 1993 screen shots of a game started appearing which promised to be the best fighting game ever made, if not, the greatest game ever made. The hype was insane.... That game was called Rise of the Robots, and although it was initially designed for the Amiga, it quickly spread to about every other platform in sight. We had Rise of the Robots Amiga, Rise of the Robots Sega Genesis, Rise of the Robots SNES, Rise of the Robots CDi, Rise of the Robots 3DO, Rise of the Robots on PC, even Rise of the Robots on the Game Gear... of all consoles. The problem was, it turned out to be an absolute turd. They lied to us through the power of marketing. In this video, I'll explore the story and just why Rise of the Robots was such utter baubles.
