I, Robot is an arcade game that was made by Atari and released in 1983.
It was the first commercial video game with filled 3-D polygonal graphics and featured flat shading. It also had innovative gameplay, featuring a "game" mode and an "ungame" mode where one draws with the objects in the game by leaving trails.
However, it received a poor reception on release; today, a machine in good condition can fetch thousands of dollars.
The game has no relation to the book of the same name by Isaac Asimov.
