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 SNES version being released earlier, in 1992.

Gameplay

In standard platforming stages switches weapons, fires and jumps. is disabled in flight stages and fires rockets to the ground. Controls can be configured in the options menu. It's notable 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.

Weapons

Flamethrower
Rocket Launcher

Difficulty levels modify enemy and item placement. Most stages feature invisible checkpoints and end with a boss fight.
