Nostalgic Classic
This is what I grew up on. 6 degrees of movement with numerous robots and great level design. Levels also include surprises like doors opening with numerous robots as almost like easter eggs to keep the game fresh. Graphics are lacking compared to the 2nd and 3rd editions but for when it originally came out, this was groundbreaking.
