ROB Game
October 1985 (Nintendo)
Stack up is a pretty simple game in theory. The same professor dude from Gyromite runs around the screen and you get to blocks that make ROB move around and grab discs of different colors to stack them in different ways.
Honestly, that’s about all I can tell you. Without an actual ROB to use the game is relatively unplayable. Sure, you can technically play the game without ROB. If you want to use it as a giant, wacked up game of memory. Or you could use something instead of the discs and move them around yourself.
There is a multiplayer mode. Both players try to control the one ROB. But honestly, this game was painful enough without trying that.
With R.O.B., it’s a nice game. Nothing spectacular, but it’s pretty inventive on Nintendo’s part, and it stays interesting. Haven’t played it with a friend yet, but then again, I don’t really play it that often, seeing as it’s like $300.
OH BALLS STACK-UP SUCKS yeah but seriously. It is not very good. The End.
