Hi there,

I've posted about this text adventure in the CBM emulator newsgroup, and I
suspect there has been a version of it on the Apple ][. Maybe one of you
guys could help me out? Here's the story:

I am doing a little bit of research on this old text adventure, released on
Commodore 64 and probably on other populair systems at that time too (Apple
II and the likes?). Here is the info I've got so far:

Offical name: Planet of the Robots
Probably also known as: Robot War
C64 version written by: Daniel Thomas
C64 version published by: Thorania Software
C64 version language: German
Style: text adventure with few graphical parts
Released: around 1983

I am planning to translate and speed-up this beautiful classic text
adventure, but I also wanna get in touch with people who know this game, or
would like to get the English version. I'm also looking for other versions
of this game (perhaps already in German?) on other systems, and furthermore
any info on the game, the author or the company. Is there anyone out there
that can help? Thanks ahead!

For the people who think they remember this great game, but don't know it
for sure, here's a disciption: You are a robot that's transported into the
future. You can wander around, entering a mall and a computer shop (and play
on a Commodore C640!), or a restaurant (but only when you're wearing a
tie!)... I can't remember the aim of the game as I only recently got this
game again, and I haven't played it much yet.

If you know ANYTHING about this game, please let me know! For people who're
interested in the English translation: let me know! Any classic text
adventure fan should have this one!

Hey, thanks ahead and see you,

Roel N.
