Robocop 2

RoboCop 2 is the licensed futuristic action platformer published by Data East exclusively for the Famicom based on the RoboCop 2 motion picture. RoboCop patrols crime-ridden Delta City, arresting criminals and battling the drug gang and cybernetic threat of Cain. Pistol fire, melee strikes and careful ammo management form the core urban combat challenge.

Horizontal scrolling city street, warehouse and laboratory stages host gang members and mutant combatants. Ammo pickups replenish pistol rounds; repair stations restore vitality.

Every major stage concludes with a powerful cybernetic boss duel. Later zones coordinate multi-directional gang ambushes attacking from rooftop and street levels simultaneously.

Data East’s gritty rain-soaked cyberpunk urban tile graphics and tense dark soundtrack recreate the grim dystopian atmosphere of the RoboCop 2 film.

Strategically, consistent law enforcement success requires conserving pistol ammunition for heavily armored foes. Wasting rounds on lightly armed grunts leaves RoboCop defenseless against tough elite cybernetic opponents.

For contemporary Famicom retro RoboCop licensed collectors, RoboCop 2 is a respected domestic Data East movie tie-in action curio.
