RoboCop
Today, I'll be discussing RoboCop, the NES video game based on the arcade game of the same name based on the movie of the same name. First off, RoboCop was a fantastic movie. With its excessive violence and wry social commentary, Paul Verhoeven created an action-oriented science fiction movie which is highly regarded as an enduring classic. Sure, some of the effects are a little dated, but the narrative still holds up exceptionally well. But I'm not here to talk about how awesome the movie is today; I'm here to determine if the NES game is equally awesome. Well, let's take a look...
One day, RoboCop is out for a stroll in Cincinnati, looking for laws to enforce; it is an implacable day.
VROOM VROOM! Driving a motorcyle on the sidewalk is crime. RoboCop arrests him with a punch in the skull; justice is a dish best served fatal.
Prohibition is back, and in a big way. This guy has all the alcohol; try and guess what happens.
RoboCop celebrates his anachronistic victory with an anachronistic pirate cheer.
Now it's night. There are some pills. RoboCop likes pills; let's get the pills.
Okay, maybe RoboCop doesn't like pills. But you know what he does like? Getting shot all up in his face.
RoboCop goes to city hall to renew his penis license, because all cyborgs are required to have penis licenses. Today is the last day for renewal!
City hall is closed. RoboCop loses his penis.
The President of Cincinnati calls RoboCop a dick (which is ironic, given the circumstances) and fires him. Then the game ends. Hooray!
FINAL VERDICT: I'd buy that for a dollar!
