1983 and Fasa’s Combots

What was it about robot games back in 1983? As if the Droids RPG ad I shared yesterday wasn’t enough fun, here’s an ad for Fasa’s Combots robot gladiators game. There’s a BoardGameGeek page for the game so info is easier to find than on Droids, but everything I’m seeing has me scratching my head and trying to figure out why robot games were a thing then. Well, it sounds like the lead robot minis in the game were fairly cool. Check out this photo!
