    I'm joined with Darrin again to bring you part 2 in our series about the arcade game Robotron 2084. This second part deals with intermediate strategies and wave-starting strategy. Darrin is demonstrating the game on difficulty 5 (default. sometimes MAME defaults to difficulty 3). He has a video on http://www.scoreground.com showing difficulty 10 (max) and reaching 10 million, then he walks away from the machine like a boss (14 minutes of extra men dying follows).
