Plot

The graphics were criticized by reviewers,[2][3] as were the game's many ways to die; attempting to collect balloons (pictured) is a game over.[3]

While giving a scientific demonstration in Space City, Professor Wang demonstrated his invention of the first robot with a sex drive; the robot abruptly went berzerk, killing Wang and kidnapping beauty contest winner Miss Allura Galaxy.[2][3][4][5] Brad Stallion, freelance government agent and captain of the phallic spaceship the Big Thruster, has been assigned by the Federated Government to rescue Miss Galaxy.[2][3][4][5] Stallion awakens hungover on one of Mammaria's moons and must recover the missing Big Thruster before setting out on his mission; if he fails to rescue Miss Galaxy, the entire universe's male population loses their sex drive, causing the human race to die out.[3] Over the course of his mission, Brad Stallion travels through time using the late Professor's time machine.[3]

Gameplay

While the majority of inputs in Bride of the Robot are inputted through text commands, objects and characters may be interacted with using the mouse in the style of a point-and-click adventure.[4] The player may move in the cardinal directions using the arrow keys, and certain UI elements may be accessed through shortcut keys.[4] 'I' may be inputted to access the inventory, 'L' for information on current location, and 'S' for game status; the Big Thruster's computer AI Sandie gives advice pertinent to the player's location and situation.[4] Bride of the Robot has a built-in option to send a transcript of the game's text to a printer.[4]
