RoboCop

Robocop is a video game released in 1989 by Data East for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The gameplay captures the film's spirit to some degree. It involves killing generic criminals and enemy bosses while watching your power from running out. The game includes several glitches that hinder gameplay but is for the most part playable and was very popular. It was followed by several sequals including Robocop 2, Robocop 3, and the unreleased Robocop Vs. Terminator which was later ported to several other consoles including the Sega genesis and Super Nintendo, including others.

Patrolman Alex Murphy was killed on the streets of Detroit. The major corporation there, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) saw an opportunity to sell a new kind of law enforcement officer to the troubled city. They took what was left of Murphy, encased it in titanium armor, wiped his memory and created RoboCop. Now it's up to RoboCop to clean the streets of Detroit and eliminate the one responsible for his murder, Clarence Boddicker. But it looks like Clarence might not be the kingpin of this town...

Based on the 1987 movie of the same name, RoboCop allows the player to control RoboCop. The majority of the game is a side scroller. RoboCop can punch unarmed citizens and shoot armed citizens. He can move left, right and duck but can not jump. Different weapons can be picked up from enemies, and power-ups to restore health and/or energy. Following levels, RoboCop will have to match a criminal's face to the proper mugshot and engage in a first-person shooting bonus round.

Amiga and Atari ST versions are faithful to the original level design of the Arcade game, but they also add first-person rescue hostage scenarios, and a mini-game where the player needs to match the suspects' faces
