Like Rocky’s Boots before it, Robot Odyssey has several tutorials that you will need to go through if you expect to succeed. Go through these first before you venture into the main game to save yourself a lot of frustration.

In Robot Odyssey (1984, The Learning Company), your player gets trapped in a wierd robot-world, and has to elist the help of three robots to solve puzzles in order to escape. The world is made up of screens with exits to the north, south, east, west, that contain various hazards and obstacles. Your character can ... enter any of the robots to see and change their internal wiring. Each robot had a battery, four thrusters, four tactile sensors, a periscope (to look out of), and an antenna. You programmed the robots by finding logic gates in the world and wiring them together with the thrusters, sensors, and battery. Therefore, you have a limited suppy of gates to go around.

Robot Odyssey stands apart from some of the previous works of Warren Robinett in that the hero isn't represented by a rectangle. However he can still only carry one thing at a time. In order to overcome this problem Robot Odyssey allows nesting objects inside each other. If you were caring an object when you enter a robot, you take that object with you, even if that object is another robot. Consequently anything you find, even other robots all goes inside one robot, and you carry that one super loaded robot with you.
