''Robot Odyssey'' is an adventure game published by The Learning Company in 1984. It was released for the [[Apple II]], [[TRS -80]] Color Computer and MS-DOS. It reused the engine from the well known Atari game ''Adventure'' and had an easier version named ''[[Rocky's Boots (Video Game)]]'' intended for children.
 
The hero is a person who in a series of screens is shown to wake up from a dream and steps out of bed, inexplicably falling into Robotropolis, a city of robots. The person can escape only by programming robots to solve puzzles.
Line 25:
* [[Programming Game]]: Yep!
* ~Run Don't Walk~: Your character moves quickly at all times. You can move slowly, but it's only useful in trying to enter your robots, or get on the teleport pad at the end of each level.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The robot patrolling one level of the sewer that zaps you if you get too close is actually a [[Doctor Who (TV)|Dalek]].
* [[Video Game Tutorial]]: Not only will you need to do them, but they are easier and in some ways more fun than the game.
