You step into the metal boots of RoboCop, patrolling the crime-ridden streets of Detroit across seven scrolling levels. Gameplay blends beat ’em up combat with run-and-gun shooting, as RoboCop uses punches and his Auto-9 pistol to clear enemies. Bonus shooting galleries add variety, rewarding accuracy and timing between the main stages. On the Commodore 64, RoboCop delivers moody visuals and a strong sense of atmosphere that reflects the film’s tone. Jonathan Dunn’s powerful soundtrack is a standout feature, driving the action and becoming one of the most recognisable C64 game themes of the era. While movement and firing limitations add challenge, they also demand deliberate, methodical play. A major commercial success in the UK, RoboCop became one of the best-selling home computer games of the late 1980s. Its mix of memorable music, solid action, and faithful use of the license has secured its reputation as a Commodore 64 classic. 💬 Did you rely more on precise shooting, or charging in fists first? ▶️ PLAYLISTS Ocean Software:    • Ocean Software – Legendary Arcade Conversi...   Shoot ’Em Ups:    • Shoot 'Em Ups – Scrolling Blasters & Bulle...   Hit Squad:    • The Hit Squad – Commodore 64 & Amiga Budge...   Licensed Games:    • Licensed Games – Movie, TV & Comic Tie-Ins...   💙 SUPPORT & CONNECT Patreon:   / cheekycommodoregamer   Join:    / @cheekycommodoregamer   Twitter:   / cheekyc64gamer   Facebook:   / cheekycommodoregamer   Discord:   / discord   Website: https://www.cheekycommodoregamer.co.uk #robocop #commodore64 #oceansoftware #dataeast #jonathandunn
