461.0. "Robocop" by RUTLND::MCMAHON (Tap dancin' on a landmine) Tue May 15 1990 18:02

    I saw Robocop in Sears at the Burlington Mall the other day. Has anyone
    tried this game yet? Is it any good? How close is it to the arcade
    version? Is this enough questions for now? :-)

461.1ROBOCOPCACIQE::FUSTEJOSE FUSTEThu May 24 1990 20:046
    	I have that game. I never try the Arcade version. The Nintendo
    game is very nice. I personally like the graphics. Try it you will
    like it.

461.2Need some help... Any Robocoppers out there...HOLIDY::WHITTALLThe 'PROPS' ManThu Jul 26 1990 18:2924
My son (5 yrs old) loves Robocop...  So he got it for his birthday recently..

The trouble is, he thought he knew how to play it, and threw out the 
instructions months ago..  Unfortunately, we never knew this...

Well, we've started playing this one again, and I'm stuck....

I've gotten past level two (rescued the mayor), pass the shooting galley,
and into level 3.

In this level, I've gotten all the way to what I suppose is near the end.

I've defeated the guy with the bombs and shields, thru the door, and now
I'm stuck...  It looks like the bad guy (pusher??) gets away in the elevator,
and leaves me with these three little guys (no, there not leprachauns :-) ).

Any ways..  can anyone share with me what I'm suppose to do, and/or send me 
a copy of the instruction book... 

Thanks
Charlie

461.3Those pesky little critters.KIMCHI::KWAKHeaven + Man + Fire + Earth = ChaosThu Jul 26 1990 20:1935
    Charlie, I read the instructions, but didn't help much at all.  I don't
    think you're missing out much there.
    
    If you really want to get past the little guys, I can add some helpful
    hints I guess.
    
    spoiler follows*************
    
    
    	Try to save as much time as possible from the beginning of the
    third scenario to the end of the scenario where you run into the
    little guys.  Of course it helps to have the strength left too, but I
    think the time factor is more critical as your Robocop will run out of
    time more often than run out of strength in the third scenario.
    
    DO NOT use up the machine gun.  Use the regular Robocop gun with
    unlimited number of bullets, and save all the machine guns you find
    until the little guys show up.  When you reach the screen with the
    guy who escapes up the elevator and leaves you with three little guys
    after you waste the two little guys who appear almost at the same time
    as the guy who escapes up the elevator,  once you kill the two little
    guys and have three little guys left, move Robocop all the to the right
    of the screen, and be ready to fire left at the little guys by getting
    in the one knee kneeling position.  Be sure you have paused the game at
    this time, and selected the machine gun as your weapon, for the time
    for the little machine gun has finally come!
    
    Now the little guys will attack Robocop one at a time from left to
    right with the once in a while exception of dropping bombs from the
    top, but very rarely.  Start wasting away the little guys with
    machine gun bullets.  If you have enough time and strength saved along
    with all the machine guns you found, you should have more than enough
    bullets to kill all three of them.

461.4Switching guns ???HOLIDY::WHITTALLThe 'PROPS' ManFri Jul 27 1990 13:5523
Justin...

Thanks for the info...  How do you switch guns, I knew there was a way, but
without the book, I've not been able to do it..  I did manage to get by them 
once last night, but haven't been able to do it again..

Once I got past them, I made it to the elevator, up to the top, pass the few
baddies, laser guns, flying dodads, etc...  However, I'm now stuck in the
foolish energy beam...  I been able to protect myself from it, but cant get
thru the force field (or what ever)...  Any clues..hints. or outright directions

Thanks
Charlie

Oh yeah, figured out how to resume the game once it finished..

Usually you get to continue 2 additional times, then the game ends.  Won't
come back with the START/CONTINUE option...  Well, try pressing the right
four buttons at the same time  (Select, Start, B, A).  I've been successful
in letting me continue many times 

LEaving for two weeks of vaca today, so I won't be around until the 13th of
August...  Thanks for assistance..
461.5You think that screen is hard? Wait longer...KIMCHI::KWAKHeaven + Man + Fire + Earth = ChaosSun Jul 29 1990 01:0726
    Charlie, the information regarding selecting different guns and a hint
    on how to get by where you are follows:
    
    **  Spoiler warning **.....
    
    
    To switch guns, assuming that you have picked up a few guns to choose
    from, pause the game, and then use the direction button or the joy stick
    depending on what you're using to play the game, to choose another
    type of gun.  You can only choose between the guns you have already
    found, and then you can only use the rounds of bullets left in the gun
    selected.  I have so far found only two other kinds of guns besides the
    standard Robocop gun, which has unlimited number of bullets.
    
    As far as getting past the pulsating beam of energy draining machine,
    save as much of the strength as possible before getting to the machine
    so you'll have enough to withstand the draining for a while, and keep
    firing up into the machine until it shuts down momentarily.  As soon as
    the machine shuts down, proceed quickly past the gun before it comes
    back on.  You will find a bottle marked "P" to restore your strength
    somewhat as soon as you pass the machine.  The key thing is to have
    enough strength saved to battle the energy draining machine.
    Good Luck.

461.6Ok.. Made it this far...HOLIDY::WHITTALLMPO Here I Come... Ready or NotWed Sep 05 1990 18:2026

Well I've made it past the energy beam, up the elevator, and blow up the fire
blaster (what ever you call it).  Now..  How about the next weapon..



Possible spoiler follows, also asking for assistance..








I seem to have found a way to ALMOST get the gun to lose it power.

I stay to the far left, and just wait it out...  Gun keeps moving back and 
forth, shooting all the time..  Problem is, I never seem to have enough time
to make it...  Is there a trick to destroying the Gun..

Also, what's left...

Thanks
Charlie
