Not just hidden lines, it comes complete with "realistically" shaded polygon 
*solids* with hidden surfaces removed.  Given the number of solids, the fact 
you can alter your view point and side to side motion, it must have quite a 
sophisticated processor system inside.  The doodle mode is kind of fun as well.
I haven't played I, Robot enough to say whether I like the game play or not.

This seems to be the next step beyond stuff like Marble Madness and Crystal 
Caves.  They have precomputed 3-D mazes I think.  Are the initials that CC
displays those of the game designers or the top N players?  If the latter, that
would mean computing *some* of the maze right before your eyes.
