Default Robo Rally

Anyone else played this? I just got introduced to it at a convention this past weekend, and it rocks. I've never had a board game be that much fun, or that chaotic.

It is a wonderful game...except when you're dumb like mean and don't know right from left and continuelly fall into pits.

FYI....the game is out of print, find a copy if you can.

Great game! The RoboRally Home page {link} has several FAQS, and guidelines for creating your own maps.

Great game! I played it a couple of years ago, and have been looking for a copy to buy. Couldn't find it.

I might print out some maps and make my own Version, we play on average 2 or more evenings of boardgames a week here, and finding people to play the game with wouldn't be a problem..

"OK, this is working perfectly."
"Uh, Phoenix, there's a WALL in the way.."

Robo Rally computer games:

http://botsnscouts.sourceforge.net/

Robo Rally clone- playable Online! It's got bots too, and they play decently. Runs in Java, works best in reses over 800x600.

It's got all the basic Robo Rally features, minus the option cards.

http://www.eyeplaygames.com/

Haven't played this one, but from what I read it's like PBW for roborally.

For those who haven't played Robo Rally- give these a shot. This game simply rocks, though it's probably better in person. Lemme know if you download the first game- I really want to play against someone again.

Yay!! I finally found a new edition of the game two days ago, seems like they decided to make new prints after all. Anyhow I bought it, a number of small differences from the Version I remember, no option cards, and the tin figures have been replaced by ugly pLastic ones...

hehehe, got the game for 2 days now and already played 4 times.. great thing is that you can find tons of new playing Boards and stuff Online.. now if I only had a decent printer....
