RoboCop 2

RoboCop 2 is based on the 1990 movie of the same name. The player controls RoboCop on his mission to rid Detroit of the drug Nuke and confront the gang leader Cain. The game reuses graphical and design elements of Painting by Numbers' earlier NES version of RoboCop 2 , but is otherwise unique. It also incorporates elements of the film RoboCop 3 (in post-production at the time): robotic ninjas prominently appear as enemies, and several levels have RoboCop employ a jetpack to get around.

The majority of the game is a side-scrolling run and gun game. RoboCop can move left, right, duck and jump. Using his gun he can shoot enemies or alternatively punch them when they get close. Enemies will shoot back which reduces RoboCop's number of hearts. Hearts can be restored by picking up battery power-ups and are also partially restored at level's end, depending on time remaining. Aside from enemies there are also other hazards such as falling bombs, electricity and rolling barrels. RoboCop can pick up several weapon power-ups that enhance the power of his gun, either adding additional bullets per shot or making the bullets extra powerful. In addition to shooting bad guys, RoboCop can also arrest those that sit around waving their arms: arresting at least 60 per cent of them per level is necessary to advance to the next stage.

In between the platform levels there are two other kinds of stages: boss fights include a final fight against Cain/RoboCop 2 (very similar to the fight from the NES version) and several smaller fights against various ED-209 units. In two puzzle stages, Robo tries to regain the memory of his family or identify a suspect by solving a sliding puzzle: successfully doing so awards bonus lives.
