R.O.B. the Robot

I never used this fella back when he first came out. When I finally got my hands on one I tried it out on the 2 games that were made for it, Gyromite and Stack Up. He's pretty loud moving from side to side and up and down but it was definitely a unique experience. It functions well and the tops that come with it are cool. They can spin for days. Sadly no support but I think Nintendo's intentions were to make it look more like a toy than a video game to get their foot in the door on retail shelves in a crashing industry. Not necessary to own unless you are a big collector but it's worth trying out at least a couple times.

I had it, always just had a 2nd player push buttons for me on Gyromite though, because the robot was too slow.

*sigh* R.O.B the robot. I forget that sometimes I've always wanted to know how it works for him to operate in GyroMite. In fact, I don't think I've ever played GyroMite before. Man I really need to know this more oftenly.

R.O.B. moving too slow was part of the difficulty. Gyromite was too easy with a second player doing R.O.B.'s job.

You should get this. Collectors find this to be a staple peripheral in their Nintendo collection. Makes a good conversation starter too. Plus if you want to be the master of collections then there's no question.
