I used to go with my father to a gamestore in Vlissingen. That was in the early 90's, lets say 1991 or 1992. That's a ride of 20 minutes by bike. We go there to rent this Robocop-game. It was a hard game, but I enjoyed it. When I saw this again, it remind me of that; the nice bike-rides with my father to rent this game. Really miss those days, but now I make some of those memory's not with my father, but with my son. Peace from the Netherlands
Sertor84 same. It took me several tries to get passed level 4 and *BAM* finally passed level 4. It even got harder in later levels. Not to mention it took me several tries to beat the game.
I can't stand the criminal ID level. It's interesting, but you only get 40 seconds to match 6 facial aspects. Some of them look very similar, and on the GBA-sp/GBC, the original and the picture you are building are different colors so it makes it even harder. I wish they would have just given unlimited time for that part or at least 2 minutes or something. Why only 40 seconds?!
I am impressed how closely this follows the movie but also how accurate to the arcade this is compared to the not so arcade faithful NES port. Go Robo!!!
@@Renzo-cn4zw this game has nothing on Battletoads. You just have to draw out enemies before you go down elevators. They don't respawn here so if you take them out ahead of time it's much easier.
The theme to this game was used for the Ariston commercials here in the UK with lyrics added on that were very simple just " Ariston and on and on and Ariston " until the commercial finished
Yeah this is a very hard game. It took me a long time to beat this game. This is when I was a kid & when it 1st came out on the original black & white Gameboy. Now I can beat this no problem in 1 sitting as an adult. You're that much better as an adult when you go back to replay these retro games.
This Game Boy port was developed and published by Ocean of America. This port is the NES port of the 1988 Data East arcade game, based on the 1987 movie of the same name, with stages/levels inspired by those from the coin-op, but also new gameplay elements, with a few spites of the arcade version thrown in.
13:51 It's like robocop flips the bird after getting that awkward guy. Plus a lot of the elements of this game are very similar to Batman the Movie that followed. The platform design. The diagonal shooters. Ducking shots. Punching and body checking. All pretty much the same. And the ID fit part is also in the Batman game.
Oh, the memories. I remember playing Robocop on my Gameboy when I was in the Army. Just paid for Robocop Rogue City Alex Murphy Edition for the PS5. It releases 48 hours early (10/31/23).
I remember that gun 19:44. I also remember that I figured out some kind of lag when you equip the gun and continue to punch enemies, you’ll all of a sudden end up with 99 ammo.
I finished the game, but it was really difficult !! Most particularly lvl 4 (identity lvl) (difficult to switch with the parts of the face) and the lvl 9 (in the junkyard) (there is no Power in this stage to help you...) PS : you have a super hint on this lvl 9 !! At the end, use the big weapon dropped by the ennemy to shoot on the robot Dick Jones at the final end !! It will kill him in only one shoot !! XD
@@HllywHulk91 lol In that case you might have the wrong face. When you have the last facial feature chosen and confirmed, submission is automatic, unless one or more features are wrong. Do note that some features such as ears and chins, can be quite similar.
I remember I had this game but sold it I think. I also remember being disappointed that you couldn't shoot through the woman's dress (afaik?) in that hostage segment.
This is one of the American games I played as a kid. (Other than that, Turtles, Batman, etc.) I remember getting nervous during the phase of creating a criminal montage. So, as everyone says, music is excellent.
Was that vertical transition at 0:59 ever used in any of the trailers for the movies? I very distinctly remember seeing a trailer for (sigh) Robocop 3 in the theater and being thrilled by it using that particular transition. However, none of the trailers you can look up have it. It was a short teaser. I think they actually modeled it after this game, which seems like such a strange thing to do, but trust me, it was awesome!
To be fair Codedtestament, it is a Gameboy game, and only two buttons are used. One thing you failed to mention is just how difficult this game really is.
For anyone wondering about the voice samples in the game: Its only on the Japanese version that you hear the voice samples. And the game does freeze on stage 4 of the face recognition if you use an emulator. Or you could buy the Game, its requires a lot of dedication and time if you wish to finish the game this way.
I just sat down with this game using my super Game boy on a 37" CRT and was able to play through it in one night. This game is absolutely brutal! The face match scene was very difficult and I failed at a few times. The later stages are just agonizingly hard. I almost gave up several times and I actually made it to the last boss once and died and trudged through the last level again and finally beat him only to see a lame ending. Decent but not great game but I am happy to say I have finished it.
In all the years I owned this game I could never make it past the facial reconstruction stage. For whatever reason I could never seem to get the exactly right match. Crappy dark monochrome screen often made it impossible to tell the particular details - particularly where it came to getting the right nose and ear shape, and I couldn't figure out how to go back to a section to change it.
I can't get a working ROM of this game, it always crashes at the start of level 4 (identity level). What ROM are you using and from where? It's also missing the speech.
Xyphoe I used to play this game as a kid. I ALWAYS lost at the end of level 4, the identity level. I got the two faces to look equal, but no matter what I did, I always lost. Do yo know why that is?

hi
awesome story. This was a blast of nostalgia for myself as well.
That is sweet. It's things like that we need to restore hope and culture in this world.
I never knew you could rent GB games.
Game was waaayyyy harder than it looks!!
Why did you press start. I was listening to that
😂😂😂😂 I think we’ve said that once back in the days
😅😅
I used to leave it on the music for ages when I was a kid. Great piece of music
Shut up
yeah I’d leave it on … and on … and on …
I used to have this game when I was a kid, loved it. I remember getting stuck at level 4 never saw the other levels until now, great!

Gets "game over" screen

Up there with 1942's one white word on a black screen: "Congratulation"
Had this on my Original Game Boy back in the early 90's.
This music is even better than I remember, damn- drop those beats!
Ha
The music is illegally good for a game boy game haha
I played this game on my original Gameboy with the yucky yellow tint screen ah the memories. Great playthrough man!
Awesome intro tune!
Yes one of the best!!! ❤️❤️
Ranch or Cool Ranch?
That photo ID puzzle took me so many tries as a kid.
I only once got past the photo id puzzle. Ruined the game for me

What is ariston
@@djhumanrights There a company that made blank VHS tapes, weirdly they had a skeleton as their mascot in the ads

I'm sure ariston was something to do with washing machines.
Your right, my mistake

Man... That was a freaking Game Boy. Awesome game played a lot. Great musics tok
I was THAT close to finishing the game and I never got to see the ending until today? You gotta be kiddin.
Beating this game boiled down to memorizing enemy placements. I could never get passed level 5.

Mon premier jeux videos ☺️
Merci pour la nostalgie ✨️
The bullets are so slow, one type of enemy can outrun them. 😂
Love the game as a kid. But couldn't sleep for days after seen this movie😂
It was the best! It was so violent
The music is a mix between the original score by Basil Poledouris and the C64 version, very interesting.

So cool to see Robocop so badass walking slowly while kills everyone
Opening song was a banger. Also, @8:18: This is how I match Faces. I observe, search, reference, compare, match, and identify.
My firts game boy game ever! A lots of memorys! I just reached the 7th level
I remember this game so well. Gameplay was slow and simple, but it was challenging and WELL balanced. Not a gem but a really solid game.
I remember I had this game but sold it I think. I also remember being disappointed that you couldn't shoot through the woman's dress (afaik?) in that hostage segment.
Wait, did Ocean use the same sprite from the Amiga version of Batman for when enemies fall down from windows?

Far better than Robocop 2 on GB
Best ending ever
Best title music ever
The music is nice
The photo ID section is kicking my ass! Any tips on the button controls for it?
vevans0009 I am having the same issue now ..even if I get the face ..it just says continue yes or no?...is there a special button after completion ?

Stage 1 music would later become the BOSS music for Robocop 2 (Nes).
That fucking timer though!
He jumps just like he did in the movies.

Why is the speech missing in this version?

you know where find this rom sorry for my bad english?

+Xyphoe if you want play this game normally try this game on BGB, on this emulator game not frezze on level 4. PS sorry for my bad english.
What speech? I don't recall hearing any samples.
There was no speech
They left out Joe cox as emils accomplices. Also, you can punch the grenades, wont take damage.
oh man, yes.
I never finished this game . So hard
WTF The president looks like Clarence Boddiker
My favourite game😍
What happens if the time runs out?
Rough neighborhood.
How the heck did you record this video?
Damn, he makes it look so easy.
True, I remember playing this as kid and it was hard as hell. I never finished it
Level 9 is crushing me lol.
hej man! this is good:-)
I was never able to get through that damn junkyard level.
This looks better than the NES game

I hated doing the face matching mini game the rest of the game was fun it was just so hard to see what u were matching up
No speech samples in this version?
The Japanese release does have speech samples...
Thais game is very hard.Nice gameplay!!!
The identity face level is a pain in the ass. I'd never figure how to confirm the choice.
A to confirm each separate facial part. B to confirm the completed picture. Just finished the game half an hour ago, so it's still fresh... ^^
