Electrobots by 0xC0DE, an 8-bit game for Acorn Electron, BBC Micro and BBC Master. Can also be played on a PC (Windows or Linux+Wine) with the self-contained EXE.

The year is 4096. 3 Electrobots are searching Terranova for ancient objects. Avoid the aliens and collect all 10 objects. Guide the bots to the exit portal. Good luck!

There are 3 main ways to play the game:

1. Use the tape image on real hardware or an emulator
2. Use the disk image on real hardware or an emulator
3. Play the self-contained EXE on a PC

The self-contained Windows EXE works on Linux as well if you use Wine: wine electrobots.exe. You need a 64-bit WINEPREFIX and enough video memory configured (winetricks videomemorysize=1024). I have played the game successfully on Ubuntu 22.04 using Wine 7.18. Known issue: toggling full-screen play (ALT+ENTER) may cause the game to lose keyboard focus. Fix: use ALT+TAB to select the game window again.
