Classic Game Reviews: Robocop vs Terminator Review Sega Genesis Part 1

Story:
In the future, human soldiers of John Connor's resistance force against the machines are fighting a losing war against Skynet and its robot forces. Discovering that one of the foundation technologies for Skynet is the cybernetics technology used in the creation of cyborg police officer RoboCop, Flo, a resistance soldier, is sent back in time to destroy RoboCop and stop Skynet from being built. However Skynet learns of the time travel attempt and sends Terminators to stop Flo.

RoboCop soon meets up with Flo and must engage in battle against Terminators, the forces of OCP and several obstacles. Upon discovering one of the Terminators has infiltrated the OCP building, RoboCop plugs himself into a console to reprogram the security, only to fall into a trap and be digitized. After his body is disassembled and used for building Skynet, RoboCop watches Skynet come to power before using his digitized mind to seize control of an abandoned robotics factory, rebuild himself, and begin to destroy Skynet in the future. He successfully destroys the Skynet CPU and prevails, and turns his sights to helping humanity rebuild from the devastation.

Gameplay:

Run, Jump, Shoot enemies, fight bosses. Its a standard sidescrolling shooter game. Its fun as hell though with alot of weapons.

Differences between SNES and Genesis:

In the Sega version, RoboCop has a larger arsenal of weapons and can carry two types of weapons. In the Super NES version, RoboCop equips the Auto 9 handgun and can only carry one other weapon.
The Auto 9 handgun and laser guns were two different items in the Sega version. In the Super NES version, the laser gun was an upgrade for the Auto 9 handgun, and it becomes standard issue in the Future Detroit levels.
In the Sega version, RoboCop fights RoboCop 2 and ED-209. In the SNES version, RoboCop fights an ED-209 unit reprogrammed by the Terminators.
The Super NES version has actual story narrative cutscenes while the Sega version only tells the story in the introduction to the game.
The Sega version has blood and gore, rendering the game MA-13 at the time. However, a cheat code was included by the developers which included fire-related attacks (like Molotov cocktails and fire traps) setting RoboCop on fire, RoboCop's body partially disassembled upon death, a new game-over message, and leather leotard-clad female human enemies.
The Super Nintendo version has female enemies without the use of cheats.
The Sega version purely has the side-scrolling action game while the SNES version has the side-scrolling and one first-person-shooter sequence.
Enemies constantly respawn in the Super NES version.
In the Sega version, RoboCop loses the weapon he carries when he loses a life, and continues on from where he died, with the Auto 9 and the other weapon he didn't equip himself with. In the Super NES version, RoboCop starts over from the beginning of the level armed with only his Auto 9.
The overall look of the Sega version is borrowed from the respective movies featuring the central characters while the look of the Super NES version is based strictly on the comic book upon which is based.
The box art of the European PAL Sega version features a photo montage of RoboCop with Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator, while the American Sega and Super NES versions simply feature the logo of the game's title.

Here is a top tip man:

Never review a game if you have never finished it or gotten to the end.

"There aren't enough Terminators unless these are Terminators" If you actually got far enough you would realise that the game has loads and loads of them!

third boss is RoboCop2 isent it? Cain?

[DubTHC]

Man i used to own this madness. Played the hell out of it. there is a secret area to the left of you at the start of the game. You need to enter the jump high run fast code ( forget the code and the cheat name it was over 10 years ago ) and then jump up into the left of the screen and it takes you to a secret area with all the weapons and lifes, you can play the whole game with the ED-209 gun.

Boss 3 is robocop (Cain)

[marlboromike2100]

I remember the auditions, exploding into blood, fucking sucked mate, why I got a can opener, sure the bullet wont hurt much but don't get too close to a fucking gun toting madman with a can opener. LOL. Story was straight forward with this game, was a movie in the works but got canceled I heard, sorta a shame.
