ROBOCOP ARCADE GAME

Anyone rememer this game - it was my favourite coin-op game back when I was a kid. Such simple gameplay, left to right platform shooter. Would love a crack at it again...

It's a cracking game, played it back in the day in the arcade and had it on the Speccy, an excellent version might I say.

Yeah a quality game,but goddamn hard
Sound effects really blew me away in the arcade.
Think they may have overshadowed the sound of enemies dying in Golden Axe or the sound of a plank hitting a freak in Splatterhouse...ahhh memories.
I Hated Ed-209

Ahh, I just played this on my new candy cab

I got the pcb board a while ago and only just played it today.
I really loved this game back in the day.

I can hear that exact sound in my head.
Tetris was the worst culprit for me, annoyingly loud that game.
Cool game Robocop, never got into though, was rubbish at trying to jump backwards to avoid the bullets coming from above. I think the second one was a lot easier if I remember correctly.

ED 209 used to scream "ROBOFREAK " which would do a good job in putting y off!!
You had to press jump & shoot together to defeat ED209....ah the memories

I always preferred robocop ll on the c64 , great platformer. Oh and donkey kong's attract noises were the worst for blaring over other games . Still though they always pop into my head when I think of arcades...

The minute I read the title of this thread I could hear robocop saying 'drop it' followed by that thud when punching a load of scum bags. I did a complete playthrough a month ago while procrastinating about my thesis again and enjoyed every minute.

It was alot shorter then I'd remembered and I'd never completed it in the wild. Judging by the amount of credits I used in my playthrough it would have been about 3 weeks worth of pocket money in order to do it. It's defo one of the best games to come out of Data East but Robocop II is even better.

As far as the home ports from Ocean are concerned there's a bug meaning it can't be finished. There's plenty of long plays on youtube if anyones interested in seeing the gfx getting messed up. That makes two games I know of along with the port of Rastan that ocean made a bollox off... Sure we complain about patches to games now a days but at least there fixed!

I have fond memories of the Robocop 2 cart released on the ill-fated C64 cartridge format.
Actually it could have been rubbish..I remember a lot of baby food collecting and
drug plants

Robocop 3 on the Amiga was a pretty good game too. The 3D was cool and it had a decent soundtrack too.

I really enjoyed it back then , although I remember robocop sliding after jumps so much it looked like he was on skates!
