Jeff Minter Revives Atari’s Groundbreaking 1984 Game I, Robot

The reimagined version of the first 3D polygonal arcade game will launch this spring with updated visuals, new gameplay modes, and a techno soundtrack.

Jeff Minter, known for his psychedelic game designs, has partnered with Atari to reimagine the 1984 arcade game I, Robot.
The original I, Robot was the first commercial video game to use real-time, flat-shaded 3D polygon graphics but was a financial failure upon release.
Minter’s version retains the core gameplay of flipping tiles and avoiding a giant eye while introducing faster pacing, tube shooter levels, and an exploration mode called Ungame.
The game will feature Minter’s signature techno music, trippy visuals, and unique design elements, including a robot hero with an ox head.
I, Robot is set to release in spring 2025 on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Atari VCS, and PlayStation VR2.
