'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ロボコップ３) is an action game developed by [[Eden Entertainment Software]] and published by [[Flying Edge]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[Sega Master System]], and [[Sega Game Gear]]. The game also saw a release on competing systems, with the [[Super NES]] version being released earlier, in 1992.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
In "Old Detroit" in the near future of 1999, the evil conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP) advances its program to demolish the city and build a new "Delta City" over the former homes of the residents. Cyborg police officer RoboCop is Old Detroit's last hope.
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
−
In standard platforming stages {{A}} switches weapons, {{B}} fires and {{C}} jumps. {{A}} is disabled in flight stages and {{C}} fires rockets to the ground. Controls can be configured in the options menu.
+
===Mega Drive version===
−
It's noteable that ammo is limited in this game, also that having physical contact with enemies doesn't always mean the player will take damage. Extra weapons can be collected, without replacing the previously owned weapon. Once all ammunition has been spent, Robocop will be limited to use punches. Some boss fights also limit the player to punches.
+
The game is a run-and-gun platformer played as RoboCop. He moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and kneels with {{down}}. He jumps with {{C}}. He starts each level with his standard-issue, single-shot pistol, but he can find more powerful weapons in the levels to augment his arsenal. He shoots with {{B}} and switches weapons with {{A}}. All weapons have limited ammunition (which is separate for each weapon). If RoboCop exhausts all of his ammo, he is limited to punches (and RoboCop can only punch when fighting the ninja androids). Weapons can be aimed upwards or at upwards diagonal angles using the D-Pad.
 +
 
 +
There are flying levels where RoboCop flies over the city with a jetpack. These levels play like a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. RoboCop moves in any direction with the D-Pad. He fires bullets at aerial targets with {{B}} and fires missiles at ground targets with {{C}}. Both weapons have unlimited ammunition.
 +
 
 +
RoboCop has an energy meter that goes down as he takes damage. Having physical contact with enemies does not always damage RoboCop; vehicles do continuous damage to RoboCop for as long as they are touching, but human enemies do not. RoboCop loses a life if he runs out of energy. Long falls, bottomless pits, and running out of time also cost a life.
 +
 
 +
There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), and the player can set the starting lives and continues in the options.

RoboCop 3 (ロボコップ３) is an action game developed by Eden Entertainment Software and published by Flying Edge for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear. The game also saw a release on competing systems, with the Super NES version being released earlier, in 1992.

Story

In "Old Detroit" in the near future of 1999, the evil conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP) advances its program to demolish the city and build a new "Delta City" over the former homes of the residents. Cyborg police officer RoboCop is Old Detroit's last hope.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

The game is a run-and-gun platformer played as RoboCop. He moves with Left and Right and kneels with Down. He jumps with C. He starts each level with his standard-issue, single-shot pistol, but he can find more powerful weapons in the levels to augment his arsenal. He shoots with B and switches weapons with A. All weapons have limited ammunition (which is separate for each weapon). If RoboCop exhausts all of his ammo, he is limited to punches (and RoboCop can only punch when fighting the ninja androids). Weapons can be aimed upwards or at upwards diagonal angles using the D-Pad.

There are flying levels where RoboCop flies over the city with a jetpack. These levels play like a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. RoboCop moves in any direction with the D-Pad. He fires bullets at aerial targets with B and fires missiles at ground targets with C. Both weapons have unlimited ammunition.

RoboCop has an energy meter that goes down as he takes damage. Having physical contact with enemies does not always damage RoboCop; vehicles do continuous damage to RoboCop for as long as they are touching, but human enemies do not. RoboCop loses a life if he runs out of energy. Long falls, bottomless pits, and running out of time also cost a life.

There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), and the player can set the starting lives and continues in the options.

Versions

Differences between the Mega Drive and SNES versions:

  • The Sega Mega Drive version runs at a higher resolution, with more horizontal screen space.
  • The Sega Mega Drive version has more options, such as difficulty level, lives and continue modification. Default settings are more difficult (1 life vs 3 lives).
  • Flight stages are very different. The MD version has nighttime stages, the SNES version has daytime stages that also feature a scaling effect. Enemy layout aside from bosses is very different.
  • Extra voice sample "Thank you for your cooperation" and intro scenery in the Sega Mega Drive version, ending shows a city scenery instead of Robocop from the score screen.
  • Miscellaneous color count and sound differences, with the Sega Mega Drive having less bright colors.

Entirely different games based on the movie were developed by Digital Image Design for the Amiga, Atari ST, and PC and for the NES and Commodore 64 by Probe Software.
