22-Jan-2003 | Rob Glover from UK contacted us and helped us out with some Rowtron titles that he owned back in the early 80s. Unfortunately all binned long ago, but Rob's memory is great, he still knows many details. With his help we added two Rowtron versions of games from other groups ("Alien Invasion" and "Chess"), found out more about a game ("Galactic Space Battles") and even added two new games ("Cowboy" and "Monster Munchers"). Previously we had 21 Rowtron games in our list, with Rob's help we have 26 now, with "Monster Munchers" being the game with the highest number. Thanks again, Rob!

Alien Invasion Rowtron
a.k.a. Invaders, Earth Invasion
#22.

Chess Rowtron
Same as Interton Chess (Interton #13). #25.

Cowboy Rowtron
Rob Glover owned this game back then. He writes: "A poor quality clone of the arcade game Boot Hill. This game is not the same one as Acetronic/Fountain #29. The Rowtron game only had Cowboys in profile, and instead of a cactus in the middle, I'm sure it only had some big brown blocks for the 2 cowboys to hide behind. When you shot one, it did the classic 'Boot Hill' death scene of 'Ouch!', 'K.O'd!' and the dear departed gunslinger would rise to the top of the screen and turn into a gravestone. Really dredging my memory now, but I'm sure that the Cowboy game included a crude graphic at the end of the game which said, in a very poor font, "C. ROTRON 81" - as if by this point they were making the games themselves". #24.

Galactic Space Battles Rowtron
Rob Glover owned this game back then. He writes: "This had 3 games on 1 cartridge. There was a space laser gunsight type game, a Moonlander game which matches the screenshot for Interton #19, and a third which was so bad I've completely forgotten it!". This is probably a unique Rowtron title. #15.

Monster Munchers Rowtron
Rob Glover owned this game back then. He writes: "A simple Pac-Man-type game, *not* the same as Monster Man for the Interton. I don't think the Muncher is the same as Waddington Munch and Crunch #24. The Waddington game looks superior! In the Rowtron game, there was one 'ghost' sprite which was yellow, and had to be moved by the 2nd player to chase after the 'muncher' - i.e. there was no computer-controlled chasing and therefore no 1-player option". #26.
