RoboCop is a classic side-scrolling run-and-gun action game released in arcades in 1988 by Data East. Based on the iconic film, you play as the cyborg police officer tasked with cleaning up the crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit. The game features memorable encounters, including the imposing ED-209, and digitised voice samples that bring the cinematic atmosphere to the arcade cabinet.
How to Play
Your objective is to reach the end of each stage by defeating street thugs, mutants, and heavily armed criminals. You start with your signature Auto 9 pistol but can pick up heavier weapons like a three-way gun or an assault rifle. The arcade controls translate to your keyboard in the browser:
- Arrow Keys: Move and aim
- Z / X: Shoot / Jump
- 5: Insert Coin
- 1: Start Game
Tips
- Your energy depletes constantly over time. Be sure to pick up baby food jars dropped by enemies or found in crates to restore it.
- Punching enemies at close range is often safer and faster than shooting, especially against shield-wielding foes.
