[[File:Robocop intro page.png|384px|thumb|right]]Part man. Part machine. All Cop.
An adaptation of the Famous Robocop franchise, more specifically the first film from Paul Verhoeven in 1987.
==Gameplay==
On most it was the common Ocean sideways scrolling shooter (although this was the first to employ the sprites that would later be re-used in Batman: The Movie, amongst others), but the game was great fun to play.
Based on the arcade machine, the game saw you take on the roll of Robocop, stomping from left to right in a spree of killing bad guys.
They attacked on motorbikes, and with chainsaws, shotguns and grenades, adding to the cornucopia of explosions around you as soon as you pressed the fire button to start.
The 8 bit formats differed from the arcade and 16 bit versions in their levels, although the gameplay was largely the same. Also the Amstrad and Spectrum version are quite close, implying a probable Crossdev.
Robocop had limited ammunitions supply and could get extra munitions in game. Also some special bullet with enhanced features.
a photofit section to identify your next target, and the brilliant recreation of the scene where you shoot the bad guy in the nether regions through the womans’ skirt (although you were supposed to hit him in the head!)
==Analysis==
The Amstrad and Spectrum version was in are quite close which seems to imply they share code. It uses mode 0 and os known for it's nice colourfull colourful graphics. It has software scrolling.
It feature a Scrolling. As said above, the The game's engine was mainly re-used for the is probably reused on Batman: The Movie amongst others. ("Batman the movie" CPC's port available on CPC and Plus cartridge, yet a direct-disk-t-cartridge unmodified port.)
The game's engine is nice to play, yet perhaps a bit sluggish and the lack of the ability to Jump may seem a bit odd.
Also the Amstrad port features The 128K version has a well executed digitised voices voice of Robocop at the begining beginning of the Play (not on Cassette/464 version)play staying his prime directives: "Serve The Public Trust", "Protect the Innocent"...
It is considered as a classic from the CPC games, the kind of game you have to play to feel the CPC experience.
Another Remix, more Rock oriented and redone with modern instruments.
