Robocop Vs Terminator is an unfair 90's classic (and I love it)

Unfair as it might have been, my young self still persevered and finished it, which is a testament to how badass it was. Utterly drenched in Robocop and Terminator 80s/90s attitude. I also found it a glorious touch on the Genesis version how the hair-challenged human enemies fell apart like Emile in the first Robocop movie.

"No in-game context is given on the condition of Detroit..." <- The context is "it's Detroit"

Up until Rogue City I always considered this the best Robocop game. At least the Genesis version for me. The first Terminator encounter where you gradually expose them from being human into pure machine was pretty cool. My only disappointment was the super spongey final boss but everything else has that gritty '80s/'90s dark aesthetic that simply looks cool. I loved that one gun where you could have the projectiles stay on screen and direct them with your movement.

the Gman cameo got me.

Imagine being a kid in the 90s and being a fan of Terminator, Robocop (and all the action movies of that time, of course) and this fucking game comes out. It blew me away. The graphics, the music, the violence. OMG. One of the best Genesis games!!

Wow, that GMan took me by surprise! Nice one Mayo! As for the game, I as yourlsef, played the Genesis version and way later found out about the SNES version and I agree with you on everything. While the Genesis version is hard as balls, it controls infinitely better. I'd hope someone do a modern take on this!

Loved playing this in SNES. My dad brought from his trip to the US back in the 90s. Amazing experience afaik, and still remember SKTR and SKNN were passwords for the fortress and second to last levels

When I was a kid I preferred Aliens Vs. Predator the arcade game but this was fun as well.

I actually have a lot of appreciation and love for the 90's style of limited continues with no saves. The game is basically saying to you, it's not enough to just beat a certain section or level ONCE. You have to learn to MASTER these levels. Find all the hidden items. Lose the fewest number of lives possible. There's a difference between beating every level one time nonconsecutively and beating every level, in a row, with the mistakes of the early levels impeding you in the later ones. There's a feeling of satisfaction that is derived from completing games like these that few modern games have come close to. Your heart will pound like crazy when you're on the final boss, knowing that death means next time you have to start all the way back at level 1.

The story in this was better than every terminator film after T2.

This game is a lot deeper than it initially seems. I had the game and the comic book, so I knew what the plot was supposed to be. I always imagined the secret levels as entering an alternate timeline. The timeline resets a few times in the comic, as the Terminators fail and have to try again. The secret levels have new bosses, which is interesting. Then there is the secret code that makes you super fast and can jump higher. That is supposed to be the future version of Robocop with the terminator body. There is also a secret code for the unedited version, which turns the enemies into the women from the SuperNES, more blood, and if you get hit by fire you stay on fire, having to walk by a fire hydrant to put yourself out, way more difficult. The laser pistol is really effective against ED209 and the final boss, as it is just the right height to hit the weak spot without having to jump.

Love your RoboCop content Mayo. It's so good to see RoboCop get to shine even if for a little bit. Happy new year man can't wait to see what cool content you got for us this year.

It went from being a crossover comic series made by Frank Miller. To becoming a 16-bit video game adaptation of the comic series. You also forgot that on SNES version it has that cool metallic looking box of it

Using a turbo button with the default pistol turns it into a literal gatling gun that beats ED-209's rate of fire. Ol' Painless is waiting...

I used to love the genesis version. The weapon variety, the speed and pace of the game play, the environments which feel like they belong in a robocop movie, and getting those boss battles with the Terminator, Caine, and ED-209

I remember how the Snes box stand so much out in the rental store.What a great piece of marketing.

that gman jumpscare was so scary 😭

I am REALLY into the fact that this channel turned into Alien Theory but for RoboCop. It’s just great!

I have never not cheated at this game! I would always enter in the different cheat combinations when pausing the game. I can’t believe you actually beat the game normally. Props!
