Mind Rover encompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with a new concept in player control. You get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles as a researcher on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. In your free time, you reprogram the rovers to race around the hallways. The rovers battle it out with mini-lasers and rocket launchers, and find their way through mazes. Once you have chosen a challenge, equip your vehicle (hovercraft, wheeled, or treaded) with various sensors, movement components, and weapons. Then, program the behavior of your vehicle in a graphical interface, where you wire the components together and set their properties. Then let your rover go in the arena and watch how it performs. You can stop the competition and tweak your vehicle at any time until your really satisfied. The competitions take place in a 3-D world in and around the space station.
