Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident (A Golden Age Online Game)

Lego has made tons of online games. Tons and tons. I remember when I spent hours trying to beat Junkbot: Undercover (never did). But when the Spybotics robot line came out, I was amazed. I still have my two programmmable contraptions, after all these years. That has to say something. The robots came with a software cd that contained missions that you could load onto the bot, all briefed by some guy with a smooth British accent. But the coolest part was that you could program your own missions and pretend you were some superspy with high-tech super gadgets.

  The reason I actually got the robot, which had been discontinued by that point in time, was Lego's amazing marketing skills. The Spybotics website (now offline) had tons of online gadgets, like a hacking simulator and a code encryptor/decryptor. Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident, though, was by far the best thing on that site. It was a fun, expansive flash strategy game that really didn't have that much to do with the actual product.

  In the game you play a computer hacker trying to expand your Internet domain while trying to figure out who's been destroying computers all over the place. It's an online puzzle game, so it generally is something you play when you have a spare minute. But if you're going to waste a spare minute, take it from me. Good waste of minute.

  Feo.

  P.S.
  I loved the soundtrack. It still comes into my head occasionally after all these years.
