Androman on the Moon was one of several planned games for the unreleased Androman robot. Although a few of the games were rumored to have been programmed, Androman on the Moon is the first one to actually surface. Although the game itself may not look like much, one has to remember that it was only part of the package. The real magic was with Androman himself. So what exactly was Androman? Androman was a small white robot that would scurry about on a floor mat while the player controlled him using the Atari 2600. Androman also had a barcode scanner in his bottom that would read barcodes placed on the map so the 2600 (and the robot) knew where he was. Using a combination of the joystick and barcodes, the player could guide Androman around the floor mat and play various games. One of those games being Androman on the Moon.
