Play Robot Wars : Metal Mayhem Online

Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem came out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, developed by Crawfish Interactive. It was part of that wave of licensed robot combat games that tried to capture the feel of the TV show on handheld hardware. The graphics were simple but functional, and it fit right in with other action titles of that era on the system.

You control a custom built robot, moving through a series of arena battles against other machines. The main goal is to survive each match, disable your opponents, and avoid hazards like spikes and house robots. You can upgrade your bot between fights, swapping out weapons and armor to suit different challenges. The combat is straightforward but sometimes unpredictable; hits feel weighty, and losing a wheel or weapon mid fight changes your strategy on the fly. It’s a satisfying mix of customization and destruction, even with the occasional awkward controls.
