One-Session Zoom Game: Facts About the Robot Uprising
Facts About the Robot Uprising is the first new game to be developed for the Tiger 2-XL in more than 25 years. Introduced in 1978, the 2-XL has been called “the first smart toy.” Kids pressed buttons on the robot to play trivia games and interactive fiction via multi-track audio cassette tapes.
Facts About the Robot Uprising begins as a trivia challenge in which 3-XL (2-XL’s sinister successor) quizzes the audience on why and how robots will enslave humanity with multiple choice and true-or-false questions.
