Innovation and robots, woohoo!

by andlar , Mar 23 '01
Pros: Easy learning curve, simple mechanics, hours of play.
Cons: Not a fast game, nor for those who don’t like puzzles.
MindRover is one of the most innovative games I've seen. This game takes artificial intelligence and brings it to a level anyone can enjoy. I can't remember the last time a game has insinuated itself into my mind as quickly and completely as MindRover...

It's alive! It's alive!

by kschang , May 22 '01
Pros: Infinite options, plenty of challenges, easy to get into
Cons: Some convenience features left out, no tutorial on programming concepts
It's a lot of fun to create something, esp. when you know that it can doo all it's doing because of you... And you'll get a LOT of that feeling from Mindrover.

At its heart, Mindrover is a robot (rover) construction kit. You have three sizes...

Ever Wanted to Build a Robot?

by Coren , Apr 28 '00
Pros: Challenging, yet easy to learn
Cons: Driver glitches with Voodoo
Have you ever wanted to build your own robot. Have you drooled over a LEGO Mindstorms kit, but felt that $200 was a little steep? Or wanted to blow apart the opponent, and didn't think LEGO was the way to go?

Here's your chance. Mindrover...

The best game yet?

by Corvos , Apr 27 '00
Pros: long-lasting fun, no blood and gore
Cons: you'll need a fairly fast CPU and a graphics card running OpenGL
Mind Rover may be the best computer game yet. Unlike most games, Mind Rover requires some thinking and problem-solving skills and, best of all, the game can be played on many levels. You don't have to be an engineer to enjoy Mind Rover, but...

One of the best!

by Qade , Apr 27 '00
Pros: Incredibly challenging and fun, almost infinite combinations and solutions
Cons: initial learning curve
I first saw MindRover in a magazine. After reading about it I decided to try the downloadable demo at www.cognitoy.com. It was GREAT! I was addicted the moment I started it. If you love the challenge of logic and programming then this game is definitely...

It's not rocket science, but it's got rockets!

by sord , Apr 27 '00
Pros: Unlimited playability, great customer support, highly addictive
Cons: Not interactive during battles, Problems with some video cards
MindRover is a game unlike any other game you can buy. Where most games give you a prefabricated environment and as the player, you only get to do what the developer wants you to do. MindRover puts you in the role of the developer and lets you create...

Gotta luv it!

by cybersore , May 06 '00
Pros: Good Game
Cons: None that I have found.
I played Mindrover demo, and it was very limited, so I thought that it would be very wise to buy the full version, which I did.
**PROs**
This is a difficult game that requires a lot of time and cleverness. It contains days, weeks, months of...

I wish there were more like this

by omahoney , Sep 02 '01
Pros: Very compelling and very intriguing. Very educational. Great depth and replayability.
Cons: Documentation could have been better.
When I was a freshman in high school there was a game called RobotWar by Silas Warner and Muse Software. You used a derivation of BASIC to create a robot that you would send into battle. I loved this game, and basically learned how to program by using...

Exercise for you brain, not your fingers.

by D0SBoots , Apr 30 '00
Pros: Great game, great style, great music, great idea!
Cons: Not for people who think with their reflexes.
MindRover is wildly original, unique, and most importantly, fun! The user interface, the sound, music, graphics, it all adds up to a well-written, well-developed game. The game uses a simple wiring interface for programming, but "simple" does...

The little gaming company that could

by daishi_ambrai , Feb 04 '01
Pros: The game is wonderful, and company support is incredible
Cons: Steep learning curve, mail order only
Mindrover: The Europa Project, one of the most complicated, most rewarding puzzle games ever crafted for the computer. From concept to completion, this game just screams "wonderful". Build miniature robots for different tasks, ranging from search and...

Addictive and Educational.

by neoliminal , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Easy to program, addictive and fun!
Cons: Physics model needs slight tweaking. Hard to find.
This game is both addictive and educational, a combination that is rarely seen in modern computer gaming.

Programming games aren't new, but his is the first one I've seen that includes 3-D graphics. While early programming games were daunting...
