## Description

_RoboQuest_ is a mix of simple robot construction and a 3D shooter, aimed at
children. The premise is that an evil witch who fails at magically creating a
child of her own, has sent some of her minions to kidnap some children. She
now keeps them imprisoned in her castle. The witch is also seen magically
breaking up the protagonist’s robot in the introduction scene, just because
she can.

The game has two parts, first a time-limited 3D construction section, where
the player has to rebuild the broken robot, selecting one from three simple
pre-made plans (good/better/best) for use in the second part of the game. One
of three difficulty levels is selected when entering the castle with the
completed robot.

The witch’s castle, made with DOOM-style graphics, has a five-level 3D maze in
which the robot needs to navigate, find weapons, repair toolboxes/parts,
locate healing power-ups, and find more fuel, keys for secret doors, spells to
use against the witch and weapons to disable guards. There are ghosts or
insects blocking the way. The character eventually needs to reach and defeat
the witch to rescue the children.

The player can use a 1st-person view from a small monitor screen inside the
robot, with status indicators surrounding it, or a 3rd-person fullscreen view,
in the castle maze. Level transitions are a mix of pre-rendered 3D sequences
in high resolution with enemies overlaid as 2D cartoon sprites.
