I introduced my 5 year old son to Robocop by playing Robocop 2 with him on my arcade emulator several months ago. Cool seeing you do a breakdown on this one. Thanks!
Show him the cartoon series! Most of the episodes are on TH-cam!!!
@Larry Bundy Jr - Excellent suggestion Larry! I loved getting up early Saturday mornings to watch Robocop and Dinoriders. I still want both of these series on DVD, but they're unavailable in the States 😥👎
That's the most murican post ever. Sure, introduce your 5 year old to violence and guns and then wonder when he runs amok at a school, like it seemingly happens every week in Burgerland. smh
Robocop 2 on the NES pissed me off so much as a kid. Being stuck on the first level until realizing you had to go into the sewers to get more Nuke. The only game where I threw the controller down out of frustration.
In my opinion Robocop 2 is one of the best arcade cabinets of all time!
And I love how Robocop 2 was a R rated movie made for kids! I love it!
I actually liked the first game a lot more. It was way more common and the 209 still sounded bad ass.
@@maxxdahl6062I agree the same I love Robocop and Robocop 2 because it's my favorite movies ever!
I find the idea of Robocop jumping absolutely hilarious. They should be falling through the flood every time they land.
What a way to start the day and kick off the week on a high note🎉 With the best video game history recap anywhere💯 You're an institution Patman🫡
I had no idea there was an arcade version of robocop 2! The nes version is the one in familiar with and it's a mess. If love to master it at some point but it's not going to be easy. I remember playing the 1st one, renting it all the time from the local video rental store. I also remember putting the 2nd one in and couldn't wait to play it. Then level 1 began and the dreams of a young person were shattered! 🤣 Awesome job with the vid Pat! 💪🔥
Didn't even know this game existed. I loved the first arcade Robocop game so I'm surprised I never saw the sequel at any arcade.
It didn't last very long around here
I remember being 7 or 8 and my mom gave me a whole roll of quarters and when I went to the local arcade, I saw this machine and it was new. So I started playing and as I got halfway through, I realized I started forming a crowd, watching me play so I kept pumping in the quarters. I remember getting to the last boss fight and it kept going and going and as I spent the last quarter in my roll, I finally beat his third phase and beat the game. I had everyone in the arcade watching at that point. I’ll never forget that
Awesome that you chose ‘Over The Top’ as an example for Stallone (opposed to say Rambo). I’m a big ArmWrestling fan!
Another great video man! Love your personality and jokes
I’m pretty unfamiliar with the RoboCop 2 arcade game, but I love how the multiplayer takes advantage of the different color schemes he had over the two movies.
I thought that was a neat little detail as well
I’m a huge fan of data east arcade games
You and me both
I frequent the arcade back in the day and unfortunately I never saw this one, now I have to check it out. Thanks for the video.
Cool to see all the fun versions of the Robocop 2 Arcade game. Alex Murphy is back! Thanks for the History of these games, Patman!
Absolutely, thanks for watching
Another great documentary! I had no idea about the Japanese version with its exclusive "re-cap" level - the passion invested into that reveals how much attention the programmers paid to the film and its characters. Such a shame that it was omitted from the Western releases.
Thank you very much. I wasn't aware of it until a few years ago. They definitely should have included it
Greatly appreciate your nod to Dredd.
I ❤️ both franchise's but hate it when people say Murphy was first
So do I, you would have to be blind not to see it. Thanks
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries splendid von thurgg earthlett 😜
Detroit in Robocop is safer than Detroit in 2023
Portland Oregon is now worse than 1990's Detroit. 😏
@@testosteroneinc.3800 and Florida in 2023 is now more dangerous than both.
@@testosteroneinc.3800 that's their own damn fault for letting antifa run around cosplaying for months trying to burn a stone building. The adults need to take over
LOS ANGELES 👋🏼^~^👋🏼
@@testosteroneinc.3800 america in general seems pretty much a mess.
Awesome video Pat. It would have been cool if you covered the power-ups in the game. Some are obvious, some i don't know what the hell they are😕
Waiting for the "Happy little games" & laughed way too hard at what came next 🤣
LOL, thanks :-)
As weird as this may sound, I really enjoy your voice, very good narration voice, comforting... lol 😂 I know I'm strange
😊 thank you, Don't feel bad my wife thinks I sound like a moron
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries lol 😂😂 well I guess you'd be a unique one..👍
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries you sound like the sports talk sports series guy
Never saw that game before, just the first one in the arcade. Good to know, cool video!
Thanks
That series of movies was prescient af about modern day Detroit, tbh.
As a child I loved robocop and judge dread but never noticed the pararells 😂 which is crazy when you think about the signature guns they own
Dredd 😉
I know you couldn't for obvious reasons so I played the Robocop theme on loop in the background during your entire video.
LOL awesome
As a point of nerd order, Robocop is not an android, he's a cyborg. Androids are robots made to simulate humans like Data, cyborgs are combinations of human flesh or minds and robotic parts or computer systems. Cyborg is a portmanteau of CYBernetic ORGanism.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Darn it I should've included that somewhere in my video
I love that catch phase quote from 1987 Robocop
I like Robocop 2 the movie, I know many people prefer the 1st (me too) but 2 is still great
I had no idea there was an arcade version of the second movie until literally decades after it came out.
I always well aware of the original arcade version of course but I never ever once saw the second game out in the wild.
Nice to so the Robocop 2 arcade game get some attention. I love the music and sound effects of this game.
So do I, it doesn't get much love that's for sure
My introduction to RoboCop 2 in the arcade was at Nicklecade in Utah. Nicklecade is gone now.
It wasn't around here for very long
The NES version is pretty awesome when you get the hang of it. Odd, weird but charming and fun.
Yet another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Thank you my friend
Love your style and sense of humor. Seen nearly all your clips. 😄
Thank you so much :-)
Patman, do you ever do old PC games? I was recently reminded of a very unique and excellent late-90's PC game called TIME COMMANDO.. it's a pre-rendered beat'em up on rails(!?) Where you brawl through various historical periods. It's by Adeline Software Int'l, of France, the guys who went on to form Infogrammes and did Alone in the Dark, among others.
WOW! 🤖
at 6:30 Also CRIME CITY!
It's so strange but I don't think I ever saw Robocop 2 the arcade game anywhere and I was a huge arcade kid back then. I never saw it in any store, restaurant or arcade. Meanwhile I saw the first arcade game everywhere for like 4 years.
It's like that with certain locations, no idea why
Red called Alex Murphy a dumbass before he killed him.
Thanks PatmanQC! I thought Robocop 2 the movie was pretty terrible, but you're right that the game was great, at least on the Amiga 😂
I’ve really wanted to use the stage 1 music for a TH-cam project I’m doing... but it doesn’t loop correctly. I wonder if there isn’t anyway it could be fixed...?
8:54 9:12 Kane let's step outside!! You coming with me Kane!!
I Love ROBOCOP and ROBOCOP 2 PatmanQC Thank You For a History Again in ROBOCOP 2 the Arcade "Patient Louis After all we're only Human!!"
Patient louis after all we're only human, he should of say that line just in the movie but not in the game why? 9:39
Never heard Gx 4000 until now
It's very unlikely the status panel on the GX4000 was a performance thing, the hardware is more than capable of scrolling the entire display at 50FPS (It had hardware support for doing so).
More likely it was just a way of reusing the ST assets (a machine which probably did have it to help performance). Unless the game was originally designed for the old school CPC models, but that seems unlikely too given how much it uses of the new functionality in the GX.
Ain't nothing post apocalyptic about Detroit. That's just my city
313 BABY!!!
Fun Fact: Both Robocop 2 & Robocop 3 Movies Were Written by ''Dark Knight Returns & Sin City'' Writer Frank Miller. More so, Miller had a Role in Robocop 2 as a Guy Named ''Frank the Chemist''.
I should have included that somewhere. Thanks
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries No Problemo. Though it Retrospect . The Film Director's hired Script Doctors to Dissect Miller's Screenplays to a Point Where his Original Concepts of 2 & 3 Became Nothing with What he Envisioned. Though in 2004. His Original Screenplays for 2 & 3 got turned into a Comic Book Mini-Series called ''Frank Miller's Robocop'', BTW Your Arcade History Videos are Phenomenal!!!
7:30
Haven't I heard that music used in another game?
gx4000 😂 it was a cpc6128 in disguise. already past its prime when it was released.
That comment about Stallone was a bit over the top ;)
Your videos are awesome. I would love to see a documentary of vs super mario bros it's an arcade game made by Nintendo that I played in 1999 when I was 5 years old that's the 1st game I played. Please make a documentary video of vs super mario bros. Best regards Nikita.K
Yay!! New PatMan!!
Robocop 2 was a good arcade machine but for me personally the 1st Robocop arcade machine was a fantastic arcade game 💙❤✌.
Wow. Didn't know that about the japanese arcade, that it had more stuff at the start. Weird that they did that. Great video.
I found it odd as well, thanks
15:44 - That's what she said! :D
Wow, I had no idea that the arcade version of Robocop 2 was 'different' from the home versions Ocean pumped out. If I had seen it anywhere I would have enjoyed it better then it's prequel.
Yes, a lot of people weren't even aware it existed
Robocop 2 arcade game
Is the best arcade version of RoboCop I love playing.
Yes it's a lot of fun
That arcade version looks DOPE! Gonna fire it up on my Raspberry Pie tonight!
I enjoyed playing it, especially the Japanese version
Robocable’s first appearance years before Prime Directives
Love thoses robocop arcade games one was in my pizzaera
They were always a lot of fun
It's criminal that this game was never ported to 16-bit consoles
I remember being a teenager when I found a Robocop 2 Arcade Machine at one of my local Stores... I Bloody Loved it and was determined to beat it - I did, but it cost me a lot of Cash!
Thing is, I know the Cabinet was NOT a Genuine Data East Cabinet... They had just bought the ROM Boards and changed them over as it was a small "Mom and Pop" store for all you Americans who don't understand our English Vernacular... And I was Sure there was a fight against ED-209 and Dick Jones before the main game started!!!
And now I know that I was not misremembering! THERE WAS! But it was Japan Only! So wherever they got the Arcade Board - It was obviously a Bootleg or "Stolen and Translated" board... Which may also explain why it did not stay around long...
Very interesting. I searched high and low for a picture of a Robocop 2 cabinet but couldn't find one
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Funny that... I have NEVER seen a True Robocop 2 Cabinet either! Maybe the Board was a conversion kit to fit any pre existing Cabinet to save on costs. Heck, wouldn't be the first!
The jumping in the Amiga version always throws me, when I try to get on those floating platforms.
Yes, Robocop should not be jumping around At all
Could you please site the source of @0:35 ????
Detroit vs Memphis ... worked a lot in both cities but not lived in them. Detroit, pretty sure I saw a drug deal go down in a nice Kroger Marketplace parking lot. Memphis saw a fist fight with a car's hood open and the engine on fire
Holy cow
Robocop vs the Terminator on SNES was awesome, just like this video😎
Thanks but you mean Alien vs. Predator?
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries no negative. There is a SNES game called Robocop vs the terminator. I don't know why I said predator, I will fix it🤗
Wanda de jesus is in robocop 2 she was one of the ocp Detroit cops.she s one my favorite actresses 😊
5:30
'Crassified'
😆
LOL
5:31 CRASSIFIED
LOL, I thought about mentioning that…… :-)
Anyone else: 'Happy gaming ..Intergalactic!' 😉
Hello
is that your real voice? you sound like Peter Weller lol
Robocop doesn't arrest bad guys he puts them away.
2 was a great sequel.
Murphy! Its you
I'd buy that for a dollar 🤪
The second Robocop film is bloody cool and I will play the arcade version. 😀👍🎮
Have fun
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries ok.😀👍🎮
Maybe the Japanese RoboCop intro wasn't included because, and I quote from that very intro, it was "crassified"? ;P
In the arcade game there Is a big mistake. RoboCop Is made of Titanium, so he can't be attracted by a magnet! 😂
Wasn't Robocop picked up by a giant magnet in one of the first two movies?
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries and then it is fake titanium! probably of Chinese origin! 😄
Holy shit....RoboPat
LOL thank you
Good info I’ve searched the internet but no one discusses whether robocop 2 arcade game had its own dedicated cabinet or was it a kit only. Robocop 1 did have its own dedicated data East cabinet but nothing is ever clarified with robocop 2. My robocop 2 is in a commando cabinet … I would appreciate everyone’s input ✌️
Thank you. It's possible it was kit form only as I could not find any picture of a cabinet anywhere
Even I didn't know that there was a Robocop 2 arcade game. I only knew about the NES version.
Glad my silly little channel can give you some much needed information :-)
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries One of the reasons why I love this channel 😉🙂 Also, if you want Peter Weller in the game, either check out the DLC-character of RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11 or the upcoming RoboCop: Rouge City (that one looks awesome! 😃)
I'm surprised Robocop 2 arcade got yanked so quickly. I never even know it existed until recently. It looks really good. Time to fire up the MAME! But those NES versions? "Bouncy Robocop" should never be a thing!
Also never even heard of the Commodore 64GS until your video. Learned something new!
I'm surprised about the second game be impulsive quickly as well. Thanks for watching
Fun times!
Fun fact: I was the second kid in my first grade class to get the Robocop action figure 😎
Fantastic
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries it was kind of a big deal at the time lol. I still have it but, I lost his helmet unfortunately
Robocop vs terminator. Genesis snes is the best 16 bit Robocop game
Good vid
Another great documentary huge like as you can tell by the name of my channel I love retro games but you give me the back ground so I can learn more
Excellent, I'm glad I could help. Thanks
That Atari ST port looks tight.
Yes it was really good.
This guy died and they made him go in to work anyways.
I played the shit out of this game back in the day.
This game is better than the movie!
Is there any meaningful explanation why there are TWO Robocops simultaneously in multiplayer? (Besides the arcade machine being able to munch double the quarters...) This is SO NOT canon...
Ok time to play RoboCop 1 and 2 and watch the movies 🍿🎥 RoboCop 3 is ok but way too difficult.
I loved the first game but the 2nd one never done it for me
JESUS! ...had days like this...
People want paradise. They shall have it.
C64 version was just ghastly to even look at last alone play, horrible game, it featured in my "Sh*t Game Time" section.
I thought it was a pretty good conversion
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Ghastly colours, flickering broken graphics and unplayable due to so much inertia, just yuk.
@@ZEUSDAZ As I mentioned, the colors were not as bad as they were on the NES so I did not mind it as much. Inertia wasn't bad after you get used to it.
@@ZEUSDAZ I really agree the same here
Awesome
Thanks a lot
Robocop 2? Well, you know...I'd buy that for a dollar!
LOL
Agh, I can't stand games that force you tobe 2/3rds of the way to the edge of the screen before the game will scroll. I hate it. You have no time to react to enemies that spawn. Don't they know where the center of the screen is??
I'd buy that for a dollar
I should have put that in the video, darn it. Good call
👍
It was ok but nothing compared to the original.
🤘😄🤘
Stay out of trouble.
