They should have created a set location of where everything is in Robot City and then give you a map. I have a feeling that the "city's changing streets" was a cover up for a design flaw in the game.
@spiderwebs7215 The book series that the game is loosely based on had the same plot device where buildings and streets would move around and change, so I don't think it was a cover-up. But that said, it's a blight on the game, and there must be a dozen better ways to have done it.
@Obscuritory Agreed! But did you read the books? I know Asimov never actually wrote the books, but set up the foundation for them, where authors took it and gave their interpretation.I know there are some good and bad interpretations out there but I wonder which one is worth reading...
@spiderwebs7215 Sadly I haven't had a chance to read them outside of a couple small excerpts, but they're decent. Not at all Asimov quality, but decent pulpy sci-fi. They're all part of the same running plot, so I suppose you'd have to read them in order.

so many frightening memories from my childhood. I hate all the randomization, and the limited escape attempts, though it's still a good game.
