Robot Rascals is a [=DOS=] ScavengerHunt video game by Ozark Softscape.

The game doesn't have a plot per say, but rather just a setting in which up to four players can compete against each other in looking for items pertaining to whichever cards they have. Each player can pick a different robot (there's 10 to choose from) as they PlayerCharacter to take part in their hunt. Each turn, the player can move their robot to a different part of the map (which costs some of the fuel the player is given at the beginning), scan for the items they're supposed to be hunting for, and be given a list of advantages/disadvantages the players have from their position on the field.

The game was released in 1986.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Besides the title itself, literally every item you are supposed to be scanning for has an alliterative name. Pixel Pencil, Cobalt Cola, Digital Donut, etc.



* EyeOnAStalk: Ize has it eyes positioned on its body this way.

* EyeOnAStalk: Ize has it eyes "eyes" positioned on its body this way.way.
* NoPlotNoProblem: The game, like most of its time period.
* RobotNames: The playable robots' names are usually an obvious reference to their design: a tracked robot is named Trak, a spherical one is Sphero, a bulky, rounded one is Belbot, etc. However, models like Ize avert this.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: One of the items you can hunt for, Energy Eater, is very clearly ''VideoGame/PacMan''.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Finding the Portal Passkey allows that lucky robot to teleport for free.
* TinCanRobot: The bulky, rounded design of the Belbot.
