Robotrek was an early 90s SNES game developed by [[Quintet]] and [[Enix]]. &nbsp;It holds a special place for me, because past the initial WHAM-BAM-AWESOME of [[Secret of Mana]], [[Final Fantasy VI]], and [[Chrono Trigger]], this was one of the first RPGs I played. &nbsp;It's a less serious affair than any of those games; the Japanese title was Slapstick, there was a group of villains known as &quot;Hackers&quot;, and instead of experience points you gained megabytes of data.
 
It's also got a... beautifully flawed translation. &nbsp;Early on while trying to explain the workings of the game to you, it gives you such helpful gems as &quot;''Robotscan be made, maintenaned, and powered up. are also possible''&quot;

The bit of text that totally altered my language, though, was when you confront a Hacker only to be told &quot;''That's what you say, but evil is good. &nbsp;Evil is the job.''&quot; &nbsp;For years now I've used &quot;the job&quot; to mean great. &nbsp;Saying something is &quot;the job&quot; is very much like saying it's &quot;the bomb&quot;, only much nerdier and most people won't understand what you mean.

Robotrek shared a font with fellow SNES Quintet games Act Raiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma. &nbsp;My modern interpretation of it can be found in [[My Fonts]].
