Evolver

Remember Virtual Reality?  You know, the game where you'd put on a helmet and hold a controller and it would look like you were actually in this low resolution polygonal game?  It was pretty big in the early 90's, so much so that there were a few movies made about the fad.  Evolver is one of those movies, and it's the name of the game that's played.  Ethan Embry (as Ethan Randall) is one of the best evolver players, and he gets awarded a real robot that will play with him anytime he likes.   The robot learns after each round, and adapts to try to beat his opponent.  While it sounds like an awesome robot, the robot isn't satisfied with shooting out foam balls and darts anymore, it wants to learn how to kill.
