Lies of the Robots

In 1993 a revolutionary next generation fighting game idea was born. It was set to raise the bar of what a next generation graphics would be. The fighting game would feature prerendered 3d robots in front of 3d rendered backgrounds all rendered in 3D Studio with 'hundreds' of animation frames. That game was Rise of the Robots and released on almost every major computer and console platform at the time. The media hyped up the game so much and when it arrived it was a disaster. Here is the story of how Rise of the Robots went from a unique idea to one of the worst games ever released and how the video game media lied to its readers.
