Metal & Lace: Battle of the Robo Babes is a 2D fighting game released by Megatech Software for MS-DOS on May 29, 1992. It was a localization of an all-female fighting game titled Ningyou Tsukai (人形遣い, Ningyou Tsukai^?, lit. "Puppet Operator")^[1][2] originally released by the eroge company Forest. It was later followed by a Japan-exclusive sequel titled Ningyou Tsukai 2 (人形遣い2, Ningyou Tsukai Tsu^?, lit. "Puppet Operator 2"), which was first released for the PC-98 and later for PC. The original game company has since gone under and the game is considered abandonware.

Gameplay

Metal & Lace was a simplistic 2D fighting game which featured some very basic controls and special moves. The game was divided up into different levels in which the player had to fight a series of pretty anime girls and as each were defeated, the user was rewarded with an image of each girl. Once a level was cleared, the player would fight all the same girls again on a harder difficulty setting and the user was rewarded with another image of the girl they fought in an increasingly revealing state of undress.
