AVGN: Robocop Games

[Deleted]

The AVGN returns as Robonerd to take a look at the Robocop games on the NES:

Feels like the old days when he was pumping out videos on a monthly rate.

I do like the idea of transitioning from episode to episode based on where he left off, since it makes it easier follow up a really terrible game like Hong Kong 97 to Darkwing Duck.

This episode was okay. The original RoboCop game was pretty good, it's the sequels that are terrible, although he seemed to have the opposite reaction.

I'm amazed he didn't go through the last bosses on RoboCop 3 more, that is absolutely brutal to beat if the game decides to not have the ninjas interact correctly and you run out of time.

A good episode, though I was hoping for the infamous 2003 game, and a Godzilla-review like moment where he plays Robocop vs. The Terminator & gets angry.

Only remember the Game Boy Robocop game (dunno if there were several, its cover was the one from the first Robocop movie but the gameplay seemed more like Robocop 3 on the NES).

[Sephiroth]

I remember getting the NES Robocop game for Christmas. A week later my poor mom came down with flu and was in bed all day while I was in the next room playing it. So she had to hear that music all day. By the time dad made supper she was ready to toss the NES out the window.

Pretty good video. Nothing amazing, but it didn't really need to be.

[Sparvid]

I remember that Robocop 3 the game was released long before the movie, and I read a review at the time which wondered why the game had a flying level when "everyone knows that Robocop doesn't fly".

If you was a fan of WWF TV in 93 you used to see adds for the third game all the time

So which RC 3 is better the game or the movie

[G✇JI☈A]

Remember playing a pretty cool Robocop game on the Amiga. It used a the Amiga 500 equivalent (somewhere between 16 and 32 bit) version of the film score for the music.

The game was basic side scrolling with levels matching bits from the movie. You fight ED209 at the end of each level and he backs off when you beat him, except at the OCP level you finally destroy him.

Between some Level you would get a mini game in first person view using Robocop’s targeting system you had to shoot a enemy using a human shield, you failed if you shoot the hostage . I remember one was from the attempted rape scene (sadly you don’t shoot the guy’s dick through the women’s skirt).. and iof course it features the film’s climax with Dick taking the Old Man hostage..

Yeah it was pretty cool but I could be wearing nostalgia goggles.

I would say the game.

Yeah its shit but Robocop 3 the movie is a straight up f***ing disgrace.

The completely unrelated Bates Motel video was pretty great as well

According to Larry Bundy jr, Robocop was one of the most successful games on the British home PC market of the 80's and early 90's and is pretty fondly remembered. So it might be a bit of nostalgia goggles but it was probably at least pretty good for the time.

except for the Commodore 64 port which was purposefully shipped unbeatable and broken

I was disappointed about the lack of Robocop Vs. Terminator.

Maybe he did that one in its own video.

It was pretty damm good and I will admit that I've been pleasantly surprised with how good the past few episodes have been.

For years it seemed that James stopped caring and was willing to half ass everything but for some reason in 2017 he seems a f*** of lot more motivated.

If you go in knowing about it the Spectrum version is still a damn good game.

We Brits have a damn interesting gaming history.

And Guru Larry is all too happy about talking about it. He should make a 2 hour documentary about it.
