RoboCop (Video Game) | comment |
Back in the late 80s / early 90s, when the RoboCop franchise was at its peak of popularity, Data East managed to obtain the rights to the series. And from there, create a duology of games, based on RoboCop (1987) and RoboCop 2.Dropping the film's storyline altogether, the games are as much a Pragmatic Adaptation as arcade adaptations go - the movie's themes of Alex Murphy's losing humanity after being converted into Robocop are dropped for an Excuse Plot consisting of "Robocop shoots bad guys". Gameplay is more or less recycled from DataEast's Bad Dudes a year earlier.The game was surprisingly a huge success, both critically and commercially. The first game sold over 1 million copies worldwide and is among one of the 1980s' best-selling home console games. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
RoboCop (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The second game loves doing thse: For most of the game, you're shooting enemies from a side-profile (think Contra), but there's an area in an alleyway and another in a weapons factory that suddenly shifts to a behind-the-back perspective (think Cabal). There's also two levels that suddenly drops Robocop into a first-person Rail Shooter, where Robocop hops on a motorbike and chases enemy vehicles down the streets of Detroit while shooting at everything in sight. | |

Mythology Gag | |
RoboCop (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The warehouse shootout stage resembles the interiors of the drug packaging plant from the first Robocop movie. Even the mooks have outfits similar to those worn by enemies from the live-action film. The Final Boss of the first game, an unnamed terrorist leader, is fought in a penthouse meeting room filled with windows, where he grabs the President as a Human Shield and tries shooting at Robocop from behind cover, practically remaking the ending where Dick Jones tries using the Head of OCP as a hostage. Even the ensuing dialogue is lifted from the movie! | |

Mecha-Mooks: Robotic enemies appears in both games, in large numbers once Robocop made it into the factory stages. And of course, the ED-209, which made more numerous appearances than it's cinematic counterpart. | |

Robotic Undead: For reasons unexplained, there are mechanical zombie-like robots appearing in the warehouse stage, once Robocop made it deep enough into the building's interiors. Their appearance seems to be based on the deformed "Otomo" robots from the second movie, in yet another Mythology Gag. | |

RoboCop (Video Game) / int_68ddad6b | comment |
Pedestrian Crushes Car: Sometimes mooks on vans and automobiles will try attacking Robocop while they're in vehicles. But they're fighting Robocop, who simply wrecks their rides easily, either shooting them enough before they can reach him or punching their rides into scrap. The second game have a Quick Time Event where Robocop out-pushes a car trying to crush him, squashing the vehicle and the mook in it into scrap. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: Both games, especially the second, have enemy mooks who tries attacking Robocop - a firearm-wielding badass Cyborg - with melee weapons, like axes, batons, or dinky little shivs. It ends as predictably as you'd expect. | |

Sniper Rifle: One of the available pickups Robocop can obtain in both games, which looks somewhat like a Barrett M82CQ - an obscenely huge real-life sniper. In-game, it fires a massive projectile shot that allows Robocop to penetrate multiple enemies standing in a straight line, and yet Robocop can easily carry it around on one hand. Then again it's Robocop... | |

The Battle Didn't Count | |
RoboCop (Video Game) / int_ee3438ee | comment |
The Battle Didn't Count: RoboCain, the Final Boss of the sequel (or at least, a robot prototype resembling it's live-action counterpart), in which the entirety of the last stage is pretty much Robocop battling Cain over and over, again, in a number of areas. He's fought in the center of the factory, then escapes after having it's health reduced to a fraction, only to return with a new health bar in a rising platform. It escapes again and is fought on the rooftops, again with a new healthbar. Defeat it and... RoboCain grabs Robocop and tackles him over a railing in a Taking You with Me moment, only to crash in the streets and behold, RoboCain gets another health bar upon hitting the streets. The fourth battle is the longest, but luckily it's also the last. | |
