Back in the day we'd buy games based on the vaguest idea of what they actually are. My parents would take me to the store and we'd get anything that looks cool enough. Best we can do is read a little bit about it in a magazine.

Mom made me pick a game from the bargain bin. Deus ex? Weird cover. Eh I'll try it

At least this one had screenshots on the back!

For a different platform entirely, but as a Spectrum owner I was used to that.

Looking at videos of other versions, it looks suspiciously like they outsourced the Spectrum version to somebody else, and only vaguely described it.

That's how I got "Rise of the robots", never got more disappointed by a game ever! 😞
