Rise Of The Robots is a fighting game released in 1994 for the IBM PC, Amiga, Game Gear, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and Philips CD-i.The game's premise was dead simple, and by the standards of any beat-em-up, perfectly functional. The Supervisor, a T-1000 Expy with boobs, is the central robot in charge of a large robotics plant. All is going well, until a computer virus suddenly gives her sentience. She transmits the virus to the rest of the plant's robot workers, causing them to kill all the humans inside and try to find a way to connect to the outside mainframe. The only way to prevent The Supervisor from uploading the virus to the rest of the city is to kill her. Enter Coton, a cloned Cyborg programmed to fight his way to the Supervisor's lair and kick her highly textured ass.If the game has any greater legacy than just being awful, it is that it solved the issue of the increasing number of video game magazines - although not in the way they would have liked.To try and attract readers, some were giving 'exclusives' of games, promising high scores in return for advance review copies. Some of these games were still in Beta and even Alpha testing, and others would even review based on PC screenshots. Some would diss the game in the review but give scores of 80% and more at the end. Nobody really noticed when a game turned out to be good anyway, but with Rise being so universally bad by any other standards, its exceptionally high 'exclusive' review scores caused a sharp loss in trust for the common news-stand magazine.A sequel, Rise 2: Resurrection, was released on the PC, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn in 1996. This one featured a new cast of characters, on top of the returning robots, and numerous gameplay improvements that were overshadowed by the overall design of the game, that is try to be like two certain other fighting games but betray the mechanics from both in certain ways. Nevertheless, it is more balanced and playable than the first (as little as that's saying). | |

Failsafe Failure | |
| Rise of the Robots (Video Game) / int_1d3c92da | comment |
Failsafe Failure: Subverted. The Supervisor's programmers actually thought ahead, and didn't give her access to any network outside the factory in case something like this happened. Doubly Subverted when she absorbs the Cyborg's mind, letting her transmit the virus over a larger area. | |

A Winner Is You | |
| Rise of the Robots (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: All you get for beating the Supervisor in the first game is a shot of her exploding, then a brief sentence of text and a clip show of all the FMV sequences in the game that repeats until you reset. Beating Rise 2 gives you a generic "You kicked the Supervisor's butt" ending, with the lines repeating in different variations. | |

Healthy Green, Harmful Red: In some ports, the characters' full health bar is depicted in green, and changes its colour to yellow, then to a dark shade of red: SNES port; Genesis port. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| Rise of the Robots (Video Game) / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Music by Brian May was promised for the game. Most console versions that advertised this lacked all the music by him (with the exception of the intro music). The second game has a track on the PS1 disc, but never actually plays in game. This too was advertised inexplicably. One advertisement boasts about the complex AI that learns and adapts to its opponent. Anyone who's played the game can tell you just how wrong that is. | |

Re-Release Soundtrack | |
| Rise of the Robots (Video Game) / int_9952b10b | comment |
Re-Release Soundtrack: The game was heavily advertised as featuring music by Brian May. However, they got into rights issues with EMI. Rather than delaying the game to resolve them, the developers completely replaced May's music with techno music by Fuzzy and Clownlogic. The Brian May soundtrack was eventually included on the 3DO and CD-i versions, letting the player choose between it or the techno soundtrack. | |

Shout-Out: The Supervisor is less a Shout-Out and more like a rip-off of the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. She starts out showing off her hand blades, and being melted to the ground when defeated. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Rise of the Robots (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Apparently the only way the dev team could think to create a difficulty curve was to just make each robot hit harder than the last (which completely breaks two-player mode, especially since one player has to play as the Cyborg.) Hard mode is also guilty of blatant controller reading (then again, advertisements did brag about how the AI could read your moves.) Not to mention that there's no continues. At all. In a fighting game. | |
