Hardwired sprites has too few slots (16 only) which are too heavy and too slow to upload in ASIC for a decent exclusive use of them.
They are more suitable for special effects (explosions, bonus, some small encounters perhaps), additionnal background's tiles (as seen in switchblade[[Switchblade ( Cartridge ) |Switchblade ]]) or even the player's sprite only.
Yet '''Robocop 2''' remains a pleasant and challenging platformer , with sweet graphics and many different sub-games.

[[Robocop]]
== Implementation details and use of Plus hardware ==
* Mode 1 and 0 are used for menu screen
* Mode 0 is used for background and panel in game
* Plus palette is used throughout
* Plus sprites are used for Robocop 2 logo and the 'O' of 'Orion' on the title screen, any many sprites in game including Robocop, spikes, saws in game.
* Plus screen split is used for the panel at the bottom.
* Plus soft hardware scroll is used. The left column is also masked by the border.
* CRTC values are: R0 = 63, R1 = 40, R2 = 45, R3 = 14, R4 = 38, R5 = 0, R6 = 29, R7 = 33
R0,R1,R4, R5 are normal values. R2 is one less shifting the picture one char to the left, possibly to compensate for the left column being masked.
R3 defines a horizontal sync width of 14 and a vertical sync width of 16. Normally the vertical sync width is 8.
R6 defines a screen 4 chars taller than the normal system values. R7 moves the screen up by 3 chars probably to centralise the picture in the display.
