There were many 3D games before robocop 3D on the amiga. Check out hunter and also carrier command or stunt car racer. Also, regarding copy protection, this robocop cop game came with a "dongle", described in some amiga magazines as "about the size of a matchbox". I still have it.
This is the game I think of when I'm considering how far we have come in the fps genre. Sure Doom or Wolfy was the 1st but they arent true 3d. This was the 1st full 3d game I came into contact with & being a Robo fan it blew my mind. I'v never forgotten it & it gives me an appreciation of modern graphics. Kids today dont realise that even though they may suck by todays standards, games like these were once utterly amazing & totally new steps in gaming.
lmao, bansley lad as roboBab.. i used to play this game all the time in the early 90's on my amiga, some levels are pretty good but the game gets repetitive.. as for the discs they are 880k disc and the amiga never supported high density floppies, however it could read pc ones.. im not 100% but i think robocop 3 was hard drive installable.. great upload by the way... :-)
Seriously, people commenting on this game do not have a clue. This was one of the first playable 3D games, it ran on a basic A500 and was awesome not "ok for its time" - absolutely bloody amazing! When this came out, no one appreciated it simply because the idea of "3D Games" was so knew, people literally could not understand it. But this game is one of the BEST examples of truly playable 3D action.
Pretty good for it's time! Didn't know Robocop had a 3D fps game for the Amiga! But its sometimes pretty hard to differentiate between enemies and hostages :P
Hey Keith do you reckon this would work on a A500 with the 1mb expansion? I have a severe lack of games for my Amiga and I really like the look of this one!
Cheers for uploading this Keith! Just how I remember it, I quite enjoyed this game back in the day. I remember the driving sections well, they were pretty damn good! You should definitely give it another try. Shame the film is poor. Robocop the original has legendary status though... :)
It was also behind the first time I ever got grounded as a kid. My dad had a copy on tape and caught me watching it late one night. I was about 7 at the time. But what a film.
You know Lorf, I was never a fan of the movie Robocop 3, they should never have let Frank Miller do the script of it. But... Im quite amazed by this. A game thats based on a movie I dont like, made by a company thats more or less my arch nemesis.. This really doesnt look bad!
Cool 3D game on the Amiga. Thanks for showing this. I need to get myself some amiga external floppy drives as my internal drive on the A500 refuses to load floppies :(
is this the robocop game for amiga that had that wierd dongle thing you had to plug in the back to get it to work or is that robocop 3? lol i can't remember :)
I had this game back in the day, and really enjoyed it. I may still have the disks somewhere, but I lost my manual so can't do the passwords... *rolls eyes*. Loads of games I can't play any more coz of that copy protection.
Its such a pain as quite a few of my games come with daft copy proctection that require the manuals. With a lof of them I actually find myself looking for pirate copies.
I picked mine up for £220 :) Which was a good deal for a HD cam at the time. It usually copes quite well but when it comes to TV's and monitors I've always had this issue :(

Just had a look at the box and it says it supports the A500, A500+ and 1mb Recommended. So I reckon it would run on your system :)

I seem to have blanked the 3rd film from memory :p
Lorfarius 2 years ago
Wise move! lol.
How many good quotes did the first film have?
"Your move creep"
"Dead or Alive your coming with me"
"Come quietly or there will be... trouble"
"He's a cop killer"
Brilliant! :-D

Ha Ha great! Oh and I forgot one of the most memorable:
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I remember being 9 or 10 years old and playing the arcade game at my newsagent before school in the morning- bloody brilliant!

Yeah does it at random and doesn't seem a way to stop. Usually happens if theres a sudden change of image and colour.

you would think cameras these days would be ables to coupe with things like that, seeing as your cost like £250+. unless you got a deal
