Robocop (1988) – ZX Spectrum – Let’s Play and Review

Robocop is the video game of the fantastic 1987 film of the same name. Data East made a great arcade machine with a run and gun style in 1988, and then this was ported to the home computers by Ocean Software who made the brilliant decision to obtain the rights to the game when the film was only at the script stage, and therefore made a ton of cash when the film became a monster hit.

The ZX Spectrum version topped the charts for over 18 months, entering in April 1989, and still being in the top 5 in February 1991. The music is very good in the release, and the title music was used by white goods company Ariston in a series of famous TV adverts.

I loved this game, and I still do today.
