Where it comes from

When I was twelve, I played games on a ZX Spectrum. One of my favourites was Pssst, released in 1983 by Ultimate Play the Game. You played Robbie the Robot, who had to protect a growing flower from slugs, leeches and midges. You fought them off with spray cans of bug killer that you picked up from the sides of the screen.

I loved that game so I asked AI to create a little bit modern version of it.
