RoboCop video feature. Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow video feature on RoboCop for the Game Boy developed and published by Ocean.
RoboCop isn’t a terrible game, but it’s certainly a frustrating game. The Game Boy version of this side-scrolling action/shooter only takes one or two levels before it gets tough—real tough. Robocop moves slowly, making it hard to avoid enemy fire, and can only shoot in limited directions. He also takes a ton of damage, which is weird since he’s Robocop. There are also levels where players must rescue hostages by carefully shooting their abductors, which takes careful aim and a steady shot. The game was released to arcades and several early consoles before being ported to the Game Boy.
This video feature features video gameplay footage of RoboCop for the Game Boy and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.
