The UK children's gaming TV show Bad Influence heavily marketed Rise of the Robots, devoting a large chunk of its Christmas special to the game and designing a new opening sequence based on the game. Ironically, when the game launched, Bad Influence gave the game an extremely low score, much like most other gaming publications that were hyping up the game.

The arcade version of Rise of the Robots contains code from an unreleased arcade version of Zool. However, this is only a file directory and as such unfortunately cannot be reverse-engineered into a playable state.

Rise of the Robots was planned to have an Atari Jaguar CD version developed by Art Data Interactive. The port was reportedly planned to release in August 1995, but was shelved for unknown reasons.
