I would really like to know who invented the first Robots game. If anyone can add this information or suggest a place where I could find it, that would be wonderful. It occurs to me that some versions of the Robots game could have credits with them, but none that are immediately accessible to me do.

I wrote a JavaScript version of robots a while back, and am not sure if it's worth linking to in the article. To reduce the chance people accuse me of spamming, I'll just add it here to the talk page and let somebody else decide if it belongs in the "External links" section or not. http://ctho.ath.cx/games/robots/ It should work fine in IE and Gecko browsers; others aren't tested. -- CTho 03:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Robots text screenshot.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The result of the move request was: moved to Robots (computer game). Best supported title with logical arguments, no compelling reason has been given to follow this specific naming convention. Jenks24 ( talk) 14:35, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
Robots (BSD game) →
Robots (1985 computer game) – Having the year then "computer game" is better than having the operating system. We don't go around putting "(Windows computer game)" at the end of other articles so why is it done here? This could also be renamed and moved to
Robots (computer game).
