Last week I made a small experimental mansion using Joe B's DOMINATOR game data (sprites, tiles, background pics).... originally I just made it for myself....(I might not like SciFi very much, but I'm really inmto robots)... but now I'll like to share it with you.

I remember Joe allowed other people to use his custom graphics, as long as they didn't release their stuff before he could release Dominator. So I hope you don't mind, Joe, that I bring this little fun mansion up, here.

And I have to stress it: most of the credit for this must go out to Joe B, who made those sweet robots and all the rest of those graphics.

CHASE THE BOTS is a pretty tuff mansion, you need to be very fast to even start it correctly...there are many unnecessary deaths  :D and I'd like to make it into a challenge...a contest:

The point is, who can arrive at the exit with the best time, with most lives intact and all secrets and cash, ehm...batteries, found.

I'll give you 1 initial hint: as soon as you start the game, you must catch the moving platform and ecape the robot that chases you twice by jumping over him, in order to continue.

It's called CHASE THE BOTS as you are not only chased by robots, but sometimes you'll have to chase them in order to avoid them.

And remember: when playing CHASE THE BOTS it is essential that you have the Dominator game data installed !!!

Have fun.... and report yoiur times and lives here.

Impressive mansion aquaMat! :o

Um, your hint doesn't provide the shortest way I'm afraid. Anyway, here comes my score.

WHAT?!?!?!!
Absolutely positively use them but please let me know!
Not for any other reason then Matt & I would like to play them.

Have downloaded but I'm at work so I'll have to play later.

Joe B

Toybox, I'm absolutely stunned !!! You're either the best player in the world...or you really found a shortcut and used it ?!  (Did you play it w/ Dominator game data?)

But if you did it "the official way"...well then, hats off to you !! :)

Nobody else playin' ???

I don't know if I used a shortcut... It seemed the normal way to me. Except (SPOILER) I had to jump above the first one only once  ;) And I used the Dominator theme indeed.

Actually, I think one could do slightly better, because I managed later (by chance, I confess) to do something slightly faster than when I posted this score. Dying in the next room slowed me down afterwards though ::) (SPOILER AGAIN) And maybe one can do without the "lantern", too. Another half-second won!

Toybox, you're indeed right with your comment about the l.... (2nd spoiler)....but this is only possible in a 2nd run-through, when you know the room already !!

I'm still struggling to finish it nearly as fast, even if I built it !!   8-)

I don't believe I could actually follow in practise the theory of the second spoiler anyway

Nobody else seems in the mood to participate ???   :-/  :(

I won on my first time! :)I don't remember my points but I got the secret below the end. I had 5 lives left. That's all I remember. It's  cool mansion, and you have to think fast on the first part... ;D

The reason I haven't tried the mansion yet is that I haven't felt like dragging all the dominator files around again. Maybe I'll get to it.

Aaah, I suspected that was the reason.....  that keeps even myself from repeated plays of Chase The 'Bots.

But actually it isn't that much work replacing those files.... we're all lazy bastards in this futuristic robot age that we live in....   ;D

Just do it my way and you'll have no problems!

What was your way again ??  The color system, right ?!

(I have a tendency to get rose and ryos mixed up in me brain....  :) ;))

Yeah, my way's even easier--just push a button! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

What's kept me from Chase the Bots is time. I was planning to get to it, eventually...
