The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.
First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.
The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

There’s no units produced with a source and not enough listings. We don’t make things up.
Description
In Combots, two combat robots are put in an arena to see which can hit its opponent more times with a laser in the given time limit. To play the game, the player(s) program two combots by giving it ten commands. There are three commands the combots can perform: move, turn, or fire. The combots will repeatedly follow its commands in the arena until time runs out.

(For example, you could program a combot to follow these instructions: move, fire, move, fire, turn, move, turn, fire, move, fire. The combot keeps performing these actions and you have to hope when it fires your opponent happens to be in the way at the time!) At the end of the time limit, whichever combot has more hits wins.
