Gameplay
ROBOCOP takes you through 10 thrilling stages, each more challenging than the last! Levels 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9 are the main sections, where you take ROBOCOP through a variety of environments to eliminate the bad guys.
On the way, you will discover different objects to collect (by walking over them), that will assist you in your mission.
Collectibles
β’
Baby Food β This increases your energy level.
β’
3-Way β This weapon allows you a simultaneous 3-direction shot.
β’
Hi-Power β This weapon gives you high-powered, and more effective, bullets.
β’
Manta - A super-powered explosive weapon which wipes out everything in its path!
When you collect a weapon, you are given a limited amount of ammunition; however, you do retain an infinite number of bullets for your basic weapon.
Combat Tips
Avoid enemy fire by ducking and jumping β remember, ROBOCOP only has one life, so try to sustain as little damage as possible β and look out for those jars of Baby Food!
Various enemies need to be shot a different number of times to be eliminated; you will learn who are the more dangerous β eliminate them first!
Hostage Scenes and Shooting Gallery
Move your sights up, down, left and right to aim at your target and fire.
In the hostage scenes, ensure that you only hit the bad guy β hitting the hostage by mistake will cost you great amounts of energy! The bad guy must be hit a number of times before he falls.
The Shooting Gallery allows ROBOCOP to re-calibrate his aiming skills. Shoot as many targets as possible; the more you hit, the greater your reward (in score and extra energy)!
Photofit Section
Move your control pad left or right to change the current feature to match the same feature of the guy on the left. When you think you have a match, press the A or B button to move on/back to the next/previous characteristic.
When both faces match, they will merge. If they do not merge, then try changing a feature β some are very similar!
The order of features are: Hair, Chin, Ears, Mouth, Nose and Ears. Each section must be completed within the indicated time, or ROBOCOP will be scrapped β so don't dawdle!
