Play RoboCop on GB Online

Ocean Software released RoboCop for the Game Boy in 1990, a time when licensed games often tried to capture the feel of their source material with limited hardware. This side-scrolling action title puts you in the metal boots of Alex Murphy, tasked with cleaning up a crime-ridden futuristic Detroit.

You control RoboCop through a series of urban stages, moving screen by screen to eliminate criminals and complete mission objectives. The game requires you to punch and shoot your way through enemies, occasionally switching to an overhead view for driving sections. Key mechanics include rescuing hostages to gain health and collecting evidence by assembling suspect sketches from scattered pieces. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with limited continues testing your patience. It feels like a methodical, sometimes clunky, attempt to translate the film's gritty action into a portable experience.
