Story
The reader takes the role of a dinosaur rancher in the country of Thalos on a distant planet who finds themself in the middle of an attack by Thalos' mortal enemy, the militaristic Karosseans. A strange weapon is unleashed which causes all of Thalos, save the protagonist, to fall into a deep sleep and leaves the land free to be invaded. Over the course of the adventure, the reader gets the opportunity to control a variety of giant robots in his battles against dinosaurs and Karossean invaders while looking for a way to drive off the Karosseans and rouse his countrymen. ''Robot Commando'' is one of the few entries in the ''Fighting Fantasy'' series to feature multiple successful endings: rampaging through the enemy camp and subsequently drawing out Minos to a robot fight (he'll be on his Supertank); entering the enemy camp straight, speaking out loud the reference number for a one-on-one dual between the rulers of both tribes, drawing out Minos to a sword fight; crafting a blue potion in the City of Knowledge, then adding a leaf of the Man Eater plant, subsequently getting a plane robot and flying straight in to the storm above the City of Adoration.References
