RoboCop is a classic run-and-gun action game developed by Data East and released for the Arcade in 1988. Based on the iconic sci-fi action film, you take control of Detroit’s cybernetic police officer as he patrols the crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit. The game blends heavy shooting mechanics with close-quarters beat ’em up combat, pitting you against street punks, heavily armed mercenaries, and formidable bosses like the ED-209.
How to Play
Your objective is to advance through various stages, clearing out criminals and arresting key targets to uphold the law. For the arcade controls in the browser, move RoboCop using the arrow keys. Use the Z key to shoot your Auto-9 pistol and the X key to punch or perform melee attacks when enemies get close. Press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start.
Tips
- When fighting the ED-209, watch its movement patterns and stay just outside its stomping range, ducking to avoid its heavy machine-gun fire.
- Use your melee attacks frequently in tight spaces; punching enemies is often faster and safer than trying to shoot when they crowd you.
- Look out for weapon power-ups like the Cobra Assault Cannon or spread shots, but be mindful of your limited ammunition.
