Item Description
Part man, part machine, all cop. The tagline of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film suits this NES adaptation well, because RoboCop here is slow, heavy and very hard to stop as he patrols the streets of Old Detroit, punching out thugs until he draws his gun and starts cleaning up the city. Data East published it, and developer Sakata SAS, a team that often worked with Data East on its NES games, built it as a different game from the arcade version, with its own levels and its own ideas.
The most famous of those ideas is that RoboCop cannot jump. Instead, one button punches and the other fires, and the game decides when the gun comes out, so some areas are pure fistfights while others become shootouts. A dwindling time meter keeps you moving and sends you hunting for replenishment items, and some criminals take hostages, so you have to pick your shots carefully and avoid hitting the innocents. The first boss is a strongman who shrugs off bullets but can be beaten with fists, and gunmen leaning out of windows tumble to the pavement when you return fire.
The stages move beyond the streets into an upscale hotel full of hidden areas to explore, then factories and office buildings as Murphy closes in on the men responsible for his death, and the finale re-enacts the end of the film with a confrontation with OCP's Dick Jones. The English text has a charm all its own: lose your last life and the screen reassures you that “RoboCop is never discouraged. Let's challenge again!”
It is not a polished action classic, and its quirks are a big part of its personality. What it offers is a straight-faced, distinctly 8-bit take on one of the 1980s' most memorable action films, and the starting point of a three-game NES series that continued with RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3. As a piece of movie-license history it is fascinating, and walking Old Detroit's beat in Murphy's heavy boots is still a kick.
