Mr. Robot, Level 'M'

Okay, Smart Guy... whaddaya got to say about this one?  Whelp, thank God... in this case, Ron Rosen... for the occasional easy level.  An epic game like this definitely needs one or two... just the one?  Okay, fine.  Sorry... SPOILER ALERT.  Now, you're probably asking yourself, why is it spelled "Bonus Rouhd"?  Well, I think that "h"-looking thing is supposed to be an 'n.'  For whatever reason, it doesn't look like the 'n' in 'Bouns'... bonus.  Bonuses abound, my friends!  Not so much in nature anymore, of course... Well, these guys were under tremendous pressure to get their games to market.  Administrative errors were bound to occur in tiny quantities.  For example, I probably already told you a thousand times about the glitch in the emulator version of "Preppie! II", and thank God... in that case, Russ Wetmore... for it.  That particular sequel is just not as good as Original Recipe.  As for bonus rounds in general, well... Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man don't have any at all!  They just figured the rousing game play would be enough, and perhaps they were right.  SUPER Pac-Man, on the other hand... they figured they needed a little something.  In the (instant) case of Mr. Robot and his Robot Factory, I think this is the longest one goes to get to a bonus round!  SPOILER ALERT - And, as we find out later, we can flip the score and the levels, so you end up going 22 levels to get to the next one!  Pretty long slog.
