Unfortunately, the James Cameron's seminal series didn't translate so well into the interactive medium. Getting away from RoboCop for a moment and onto The Terminator. You can opt for just one method for each type, but they do play better with the suggested peripherals. This means that if you wanted to play the whole game how the makers intended, you'd have to have all three at the ready. The manual suggests using different input methods for each play-type including a mouse, keyboard and joystick. The biggest downfall would be the controls. The colour palette is basically several shades of grey, and objects are re-used many times, but it all comes together cohesively. The looks take a minimalist approach that surprising still looks fairly impressive if only for its art style than its technical accomplishments. Most of the time, you have multiple viewpoints too - an optional feature that more shooters would do well to adopt, even today.
They didn't stop at simply being an FPS either, but also took the time to include driving, flying and fighting sections.
Released in 1992 by Ocean for home computers and based on the disappointing third movie, RoboCop 3 decided to take risks that the movie didn't - the entire game is in 3D! It wasn't just the kind of pseudo 3D that Wolfenstein or Doom became famous for, but a full polygonal environment. The third game changed things up drastically. They're not bad diversions and are a welcome and memorable change of pace. In keeping with the slower pace than 80s gamers were perhaps used to, there's also an identifit mini-game that's basically a matching puzzle, using facial features to match an enemy face. Most of the time they are a first-person shooting gallery, but you'll occasionally need to save an innocent who's been taken hostage by a gun-toting thug. In between levels are mini-games that switches up the game-play. Enemies are placed in very specific locations with different tactics needed to kill them unscathed, making for a more cerebral game than most other arcade games that rely on twitch-based mechanics. The slow pace of our hero is reflected in the design choices as well.
RoboCop saunters along, punching or shooting the many foes as they rush towards him. It's a side-scrolling run-n-gun game, but there's little running going here. The arcade game, released in 1998 by Data East, lays the groundwork for the series. Out of all the licensed games in this collection, this dystopian police officer fares the best. There are over 50 games here so let's have a look at them. It's closely linked to that other robot movie - RoboCop - so I've added his games too. In the hope that Terminator Genisys will prove my doubts wrong and be an action movie worthy of the franchise (something that's not been achieved since Judgement Day), I've collected a plethora of games from the franchise.
