I, Robot is an arcade game 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 very innovative gameplay, featuring a "game" mode and an "ungame" mode where one draws with the objects in the game by leaving trails. The game has no relation to the book of the same name by Isaac Asimov.
