TM & © Orion Pictures Corp.


Patrolman Murphy was the 32nd cop to be gunned down in Detroit since 
Security Concepts Inc. took control of the police department. It was the
opportunity OCP had been waiting for...They took what was left of Murphy
and turned him into a deadly killing machine with a reinforced titanium 
body, an erased memory and a programmed mind. However they could not
completely wipe out the memory of his horrific ordeal and he sets out to
track down the gang responsible. In this game you are Robocop! You are the 
future of law enforcement.

GAMEPLAY


Armed with a standard police pistol you seek out the criminals responsible 
for Murphy's death. You can collect capsules giving you more ammunition, 
better fire power or three way bullets. You can also pick up baby food to 
give you extra energy.

L 1     First patrol in Detroit. Encounter criminals who try to stop you.
L 2     A woman is being attacked - you must intervene. Attempt to shoot the
        attacker and avoid hitting the poor helpless hostage.
L 3     Second patrol with more offensive criminals.
L 4     Try to match up photofit parts along with the photograph already
        supplied to you. If a successful match is made, you will discover the
        name of the man responsible for Murphy's killing.
L 5     You receive information which enables you to locate the rest of the
        gang. You stumble across a drug factory full of heavily armed thugs who
        will stop at nothing to prevent you arresting them.
L 6     After clearing up the drug factory you go on to arrest Dick Jones, the
        mastermind behind the gang, at OCP headquarters. However directive 4 of
        Robocop's program prevents you from acting against a senior officer of
        OCP. You are disarmed and left to fight the robot ED209 with your bare
        steel fists.
L 7     Use lifts to escape from OCP.
L 8     Try to outwit the desperate criminals as you become a fugitive from
        them.
L 9     If you make it this far you confront OCP's board of directors with the
        evidence of Dick Jones' crimes. In a desperate effort to escape he takes
        the President hostage. The president sacks him on the spot, directive 4
        is overridden and you may shoot him. But be careful not to hit the
        president himself!
