Description from the packaging.
It is the future and the citizens are bored. Fresh entertainment is needed (tactile-hologram cinema and multi-dimensional books have become passe). The masses are nostalgic for simpler, more brutal times; they long for the games of ancient Earth when gladiators fought for the prize of survival or death.
But these new games would not feature fighters of flesh and blood. They would be wrought with silicone and steel: BattleDroidz!
The Master Computer, Kronos Prime, has designed and synthesized a series of 3-dimensional Warzones. Your task as commander of a trio of BattleDroidz is to conquer each Warzone by capturing the energy keys that unlock the portal to the next zone. When you complete a horizontal line of Warzones, your BattleDroidz win (though tougher levels await)!
Each warzone is a different landscape of rolling digital hills, plummeting concrete cliffs, searing acid pools, and perilous pits. Warzones also feature Generating Plants which churn out wave after wave of Cyborites, bizarre combat creatures bent on the BattleDroidz' demise.
Three different BattleDroidz are available. They're armed with Smart Bombs and Photon Guns and are extremely maneuverable. Use Time Pistons to gain (or lose) playing time; Immobilizers to create jamming frequencies that stall Cyborites; Ice Switches to freeze acid pools; and TelePads to whisk BattleDroidz to other locations. An observation map gives you a large-scale view of the landscape.
