Released in 1993 by Virgin Games, this SNES run-and-gun platformer pits Detroit’s finest cyborg against Skynet’s cybernetic menace. Based on the comic book crossover, the game mixes intense side-scrolling shooting with demanding platforming sections. While the 16-bit era saw multiple versions of the game, this SNES release leans into a stylized comic-book aesthetic and makes heavy use of the console’s Mode 7 scaling and rotation effects for larger-than-life boss encounters.
How to play
Your objective is to guide RoboCop across multiple levels, eliminating Terminator forces and rescuing hostages before facing towering bosses. You start with the standard Auto-9 pistol but can find devastating weapon upgrades along the way. In the browser, use the Arrow Keys to move and aim. Press Z to jump, X to fire your weapon, and use A or S to cycle through the weapons you’ve collected. Use Enter to start or pause.
Tips
- Always grab weapon upgrades whenever possible, especially the plasma rifle and homing missiles, as they make dealing with groups of Terminators much easier.
- Keep an eye out for destructible walls or hidden alcoves that often hold health pickups and extra lives.
- Remember to utilize diagonal aiming to take out enemies on platforms above or below you before they can close in.
