Development
The CGI graphics were considered exceptional at the time of the game's release. Despite appearing on systems which were cartridge-based, Rise of the Robots had some full motion video which was very impressive considering the limited space of cartridges and floppy disks. The games had FMVs which would show the main character flying across the city and a scene showing the opponent walking in and a scene showing the opponent collapsing and dying - with the exception of the Sega Genesis, which instead had a static screen shot showing the opponent robot dead with words "(Robot name here) destroyed. Proceed with caution."
Although the game boasted original soundtrack music by Brian May (guitarist of Queen), only a short intro from The Dark appeared in the final release, while the actual in-game score was done by Mirage (in the case of the PC version, there was no in-game music at all). While May did in fact record a full soundtrack to the game, his record company EMI requested numerous delays, which consequently prompted Mirage to proceed without the music rather than having to reschedule the release date.
