RoboCop 2 is a platform shooter video game based on the 1990 film of the same name. The game was released for several platforms, including Amiga, Amstrad GX4000, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Game Boy, Nintendo Entertainment System, and ZX Spectrum. Ocean Software developed and published several versions, and Data East manufactured an arcade version. A sequel, RoboCop 3, was released in 1991-93, itself based on the film of the same name. Gameplay RoboCop 2 is based on the 1990 film of the same name, in which a Detroit cyborg cop known as RoboCop must stop a drug distributor, Cain, from spreading a new drug known as Nuke. The Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) versions are primarily shoot 'em up games. They differ from the Amiga, Amstrad GX4000 and Commodore 64 versions, which also differ from each other. In addition to side-scrolling platform levels, the Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions include other levels consisting of first-person shooting galleries – an aspect from the original RoboCop game – and a puzzle game in which the player must help RoboCop remember his memories by arranging certain electronic chips. Development and release The Amiga and Atari ST versions were developed by Special FX and published by Ocean Software, which also developed the NES and Game Boy versions. Programming of the Amiga version began months before the film's release. As a guide, the Special FX development team was given a pre-release version of the film that excluded several scenes. The team was also given a preliminary script of the film and pictures of the characters. Audio samples from the film, including RoboCop's gunfire and footsteps, were added into the Amiga version. The ZX Spectrum and Amiga versions include digitized scenes from the film. In the United Kingdom, Ocean released the Amiga version in November 1990, followed by the release of the Amstrad GX4000, Game Boy and Atari ST versions the following month. A Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) version had been released in the United States by April 1991. An arcade version, manufactured by Data East, was also released in 1991. The Amiga version received praise for its graphics and sound, but some reviewers criticized its lack of originality. Raze called it "challenging and extremely well presented" and noted the "especially addictive" puzzle sections. The One, reviewing the Amiga version, considered the game to be an improvement over its predecessor, particularly for its platform-based gameplay. However, The One noted that the game omitted several notable sequences from the film. CU Amiga praised the "addictive" gameplay and called RoboCop 2 "the best licensed product" of 1990. Maff Evans of Amiga Format criticized the difficult controls, but praised the gameplay, calling it "enjoyable". Amiga Power also criticized the controls, while Amiga Computing criticized the game's difficulty. Computer and Video Games, reviewing the Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions, noted the difficult gameplay as well. The One also reviewed the arcade version of RoboCop 2 in 1991, calling it "an uninspired follow-up to the original arcade smash. A few bells and whistles have been added, but although the sprites are bigger than last time out, the overall graphic quality is lower." The One furthermore expresses that "You'd have to be a real fan to get much out of this." The Atari ST version received praise for its graphics and sound, as did the ZX Spectrum version. Crash praised the ZX Spectrum version for its various gameplay styles, stating that they make RoboCop 2 "one of the few games actually worth the asking price!" Crash concluded that the game was "fast, furious, addictive and a hell of a lot of fun to play!" Your Sinclair, reviewing the ZX Spectrum version, considered the game to be better than its predecessor, noting larger levels and stating that the game was "one of the best film conversions Ocean have ever done". Mean Machines praised the graphics of the Amstrad GX4000 version, but criticized the "incredibly frustrating" gameplay. ______________ Developer(s) Special FX (Amiga/Atari ST) Ocean Software (C64/Game Boy/NES) Data East (Arcade) Publisher(s) Ocean Software (Amiga/Atari ST) Director(s) Men Taiko (arcade) Designer(s) Toru Kikuchi Katsumi Kurihara (hardware) Programmer(s) Takaaki Inoue Yasuhiko Nomura Masao Ishikawa Artist(s) Tomo Adachi Yoshiyuki Ishibiki Masayuki Inoshita Yasuko Hirane Seiichiro Ishiguro Yoshihiro Yamamoto Yoshiyuki Urushibara Yoshinari Kaiho Eiko Kurihara Masateru Inagaki Composer(s) Keith Tinman (Amiga/Atari ST) Jonathan Dunn (C64/Game Boy/NES) Tatsuya Kiuchi Tomoyoshi Sato (Arcade) Series RoboCop Platform(s) Amiga Amstrad GX4000 Arcade Atari ST Commodore 64 Game Boy Nintendo Entertainment System ZX Spectrum Release 1990–91 Genre(s) Platform Shooter Mode(s) Single-player #robocop 2 #data east #arcade

Rohga: Armor Force, released in Japan as Wolf Fang: Kuuga 2001 (ウルフファング 空牙2001), is a 1991 run and gun/platform hybrid arcade game developed and published by Data East. It is related to Vapor Trail and was itself followed by Skull Fang. Plot Two years have passed since the military occupation of New York City in 1999 and since then Ragnarok (aka: DAGGER) - the organization responsible for the events - have disappeared following their air borne destruction. During that time, mech technology has been the boom of future military projects worldwide with the biggest factories residing in Oceania. These mechs become the main target of Ragnarok when it resurfaces and claims the military factories and cities of Australia and New Zealand. Their plan is to apparently use any and all of the deadliest mechs that have not yet reached completion to their chaotic liking. The USAF and RAAF organize a strike force to reclaim major attacked points in the two countries with the assistance of the best mech operators they can find. Players then assume the role of mech-fighters who aim to liberate Australia or, depending on the player's actions, New Zealand. Gameplay Rohga: Armor Force is an unusual scrolling horizontal shooter. Because the players control a mech, the players can hover against slanted walls in the background and occasionally land on higher platforms. Players are set with controls similar to a platformer as they face whichever horizontal direction they choose, can duck, aim their gun upwards at a 45 degree angle, and jump. Players can also move and aim their gun in different directions by holding the firing button down. Players start along the shores of Australia and proceed to Sydney before being allowed to choose where to go from there. If players continue to explore Australia, then they will have a variety of places to choose from while if they pick New Zealand then they will have even more, different levels to choose from with different settings. Armaments and Weapons As the players control a mech, they have the opportunity to arm the mech with different weapons. There are four types of mechs they can choose from, each one offering different attacks and stage of mobility as they can choose a standard walking mech, a hovering mech, a four-legged mech and a six-wheeled mech. They can even assemble a mech according to armaments and features of their choosing. Players choose from a similar line-up of weapons from Vapor Trail including the following: Vulcan: A rapid-fire, spread-shot auto-cannon. Cluster shot: A weapon consisting of green circulating shots that proffer a 'shot-gun effect' type of fire in that it spreads the further it travels. Grenade gun: A slow firing, but thoroughly powerful grenade launcher that has the unique ability to destroy most enemy shots. Laser gun: A straight firing laser weapon that increases in strength with upgrades, but does not cover a wide range of fire. Players can also pick-up friendly Oceanic defense force members equipped with semi-automatic rifles and jet packs that mount themselves on the player's mech. Their job is to fire in the player's blind-spots such as from behind and around the mech. Players can hold up to four members at a time, but if hit once by an enemy will lose all of them temporarily. The player's mech has up to eight points of health that, when completely depleted, forces the player's mech operator to eject safely. While the operator is still armed with the weapon pick-ups the player received, they are reduced to a one-hit kill state. _______________ Developer(s) Data East Publisher(s) Data East Producer(s) Takaaki Inoue (ARC) Yoshio Kimura (PS & Saturn) Designer(s) Hironori Kobayashi, Tōru Kikuchi, Copy Suruna (ARC) Programmer(s) Yasuhiko Nomura, Shinji Hirao, Yasuhiro Matsumoto (ARC) Kenichi Saitou, Tsuhiro Nakata, Yoshihisa Segawa (PS & Saturn) Artist(s) Makoto Nozu, Masateru Inagaki, Hiroshi Koga, Low Speed Cruiser O, Masayuki Inoshita, Mario Watanabe, Takahide Koizumi, Hironori Kobayashi, Yoshinari Kaiho (ARC) Hatsumi Yamaguchi, Yoshihisa Segawa (PS & Saturn) Composer(s) Hiroaki Yoshida Akira Takemoto (ARC) Taro Tokiwa (PS & Saturn) Platform(s) Arcade Game, Sega Saturn, PlayStation Release Arcade JP: 1991 PlayStation JP: May 10, 1996 Sega Saturn JP: March 28, 1997 Genre(s) Platform, Run and gun Mode(s) Single player, 2 player co-op #Rohga Armor Force #data east #Retro

Riot is a 3rd person action game similar to Cabal. The player controls the hero as well as a crosshair to aim and shoot enemies. The central gameplay mechanic is that the player has two fire buttons, one to shoot into the background and another to shoot into the foreground. Enemies will pop up around the player, front and back, so he must aim and fire accordingly. One or two players must shoot their way through 6 rounds of various enemies such as grunt soldiers, sword fighters, helicopters and jeeps. Shoot the occasional flying red propeller bomb for power-ups which include a grenade launcher, flame thrower, rapid fire, shotgun, health or a 1-up. The action moves through a city in ruins, the jungle, underground lairs, on top of a train, through an industrial site, flying above a city in a helicopter, through a department store and inside the final boss's lair. At the end of each round there is an end boss which transports the fight into another dimension. Some of the end bosses are inspired by pop-culture characters, like Yoda, Thor and The Rocketeer. #riot #nmk #retro

Robo Army[a] is a beat 'em up video game developed and published by SNK that was released for Neo Geo arcades and home consoles in 1991 and the Neo Geo CD in 1995. Gameplay This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2019) There is no character selection in Robo Army : Player 1 controls Maxima and Player 2 controls Rocky. Both cyborgs must cross six levels before reaching the end boss. During these levels, they will face the Professor's henchmen, as well as a sub-boss and a boss in each stage. The two heroes can of course fight with their fists and feet, but they can also defend themselves by collecting improvised weapons (car carcass, barrel, destroyed robot arm). They each have a power gauge allowing them to launch powerful attacks according to the power gained. Maxima and Rocky can also be transformed for a brief moment into an invulnerable armored vehicle. Development and release In Japan, Game Machine listed Robo Army on their December 15, 1991 issue as being the twenty-third most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Columns. The game received mixed reception from both critics and reviewers alike since its initial release in arcades and Neo Geo AES. ______________ Developer(s) SNK Publisher(s) SNK Producer(s) Eikichi Kawasaki Designer(s) Akira Goto Koichi Sakita Takeshi Kimura Composer(s) Kazuhiro Nishida Yasumasa Yamada Platform(s) Arcade Release 1991 Genre(s) Beat 'em up Mode(s) Single-playerCo-op Arcade system Neo Geo MVS #Robo Army #snk #retro

Riot City (ライオットシティ) is a 1991 2D beat 'em up arcade game developed by Westone and published by Sega. Plot The plot begins when narcotics agents Paul and Bobby are committed to putting an end to the drug syndicate known as "MID". MID's secret hideout is located on Riot Island, an island full of uninhabited ruins with people moved inside of it while turning it into a slum. Buildings include apartments, hospitals, factories and even a casino. During their heavy research on MID, they unexpectedly received a phone call from MID. When Paul heard the voice of his girlfriend Catherine crying for help on the phone while being hung up without explaining, he assumed she's been abducted, making him and Bobby head toward Riot Island and save her. Gameplay Riot City resembles Capcom's 1989 arcade hit, Final Fight, which is an archetypal side scrolling beat-em-up game. Player one controls Paul the blond-haired with balanced fighting skills, and Bobby the tough, but slow break-dancer from left to right through each level (most of which are split into three or more scenes), fighting with the enemy characters who appear, until they reach a confrontation with a stronger boss character at the end of the level. Once that boss is beaten, the players automatically move on to the next stage. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen, and the players must defeat all of them to progress. If the players try to simply travel through the levels without fighting, the screen will stop scrolling until all current enemies have been defeated, before allowing the players to continue progress. Enemies may move outside the confines of the screen, but players may not. Unlike Final Fight, there are no weapons to pick up along the way, but players will only pick up items for points. Soundtrack A soundtrack album, Riot City Original Soundtracks was released by EGG Music, a division of D4 Enterprise, on February 27, 2009. It contains every background music and sound effect from the game, which were composed by Jin Watanabe, who also composed Monster World IV along with Shinichi Sakamoto. Riot Zone While Westone decided to create a modified version of Sega's Wonder Boy for Hudson Soft as Adventure Island for the NES, they also took Riot City, remade and ported it to the TurboGrafx-CD as Riot Zone (known in Japan as Crest of Wolf (クレスト オブ ウルフ or 狼的紋章)). The sprites of Paul and Bobby were modified and used for the main characters of Riot Zone, Hawk (who uses Paul's) and Tony (who uses Bobby's). Some parts of several Riot City stages were also recycled for use in Riot Zone. Unlike Riot City, Riot Zone lacks multiplayer and features high-quality music instead of chip-tune music. #Riot City #sega #retro

RoboCop is a beat 'em up/run-and-gun action game developed and published by Data East for arcades in 1988, based on the 1987 film of the same name. It was sub-licensed to Data East by Ocean Software, who obtained the rights from Orion Pictures at the script stage. Data East and Ocean Software subsequently adapted the arcade game for home computers. The game was a critical and commercial success. The arcade game was the highest-grossing arcade game of 1988 in Hong Kong, and reached number-two on Japan's monthly Game Machine arcade charts. On home computers, the game sold over 1 million copies worldwide, and it was especially successful in the United Kingdom where it was the best-selling home computer game of the 1980s. Gameplay The gameplay is similar to Data East's arcade game Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja, released earlier the same year. Robocop includes elements from both beat 'em up and run and gun games. Release In 1988, Ocean adapted Data East's Robocop arcade game for 8-bit home computers, converting much of the arcade game while also adding original content to make it different to the arcade original. This version was produced for the Commodore 64, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Tandy Color Computer 3, Amstrad CPC, and IBM PC compatibles, meaning that home computers ended up with two different versions of Robocop for North American and European audiences. Ports for the Apple II, IBM PC compatibles, Amiga, and Atari ST, NES, and Color Computer 3 followed in 1989. The Apple II and IBM PC ports were developed by Quicksilver Software, while the Amiga and Atari ST versions were developed directly by Ocean. The NES version was developed by Sakata SAS Co, and Ocean developed and published a version for the Game Boy in 1990. A port of the game for the Atari Jaguar was planned but never released. Data East published the game in North America. RoboCop was a commercial success in arcades, especially in Hong Kong where it was the highest-grossing arcade game of 1988. In Japan, Game Machine listed RoboCop on their February 1, 1989 issue as being the second most-successful table arcade unit of the month. On home computers, the game sold over 1 million copies worldwide. It was especially successful in the United Kingdom, where it was the best-selling home computer game of the 1980s. The ZX Spectrum version in particular was the best-selling home video game of 1989. The ZX Spectrum RoboCop was one of the biggest selling games of all time on that platform and remained in the Spectrum software sales charts for over a year and a half; it entered the charts in December 1988 and was still in the top five in February 1991. It also topped the UK all-format charts for a record 36 weeks until it was knocked off the number one position by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in August 1989. The arcade game was critically well-received. The ZX Spectrum version also achieved critical acclaim, receiving a CRASH Smash award from CRASH, 94% in Sinclair User and Your Sinclair gave 8.8 out of 10, also placing it at number 94 in the Your Sinclair official top 100. The overall opinion was that it captures the original material, with smooth scrolling and animation, sampled speech and sound effects highlighted. The readers of YS voted it the 9th best game of all time. The title theme of the Ocean Software versions (composed by Jonathan Dunn) has become well known for its serene, calm tune, which heavily contrasted the tone of both the actual game and the source material; the version of the theme heard in the Game Boy port was later licensed by European kitchen appliance company Ariston for use in a series of TV adverts. The song was also used as the theme song for Charlie Brooker's documentary, How Videogames Changed the World,[30] and was one of Brooker's selections on Desert Island Discs. It was also used as the music for the Internet short, "Dilbert 3" and was sampled in Lil B's song, "In Down Bad", from his mixtape "White Flame". _______________ Developer(s) Data East Publisher(s) Data East Designer(s) Yoshiyuki Urushibara, Tomo Adachi (Arcade) Peter Johnson (Amiga & Atari ST) Programmer(s) Ryōji Minagawa, Mr. Deco Men, Kenji Takahashi, S.

Red Earth, released in Japan as War-Zard (ウォーザード, Wōzādo), is a fantasy-themed 2D fighting game released by Capcom as a coin-operated video game in 1996. It was the first game for Capcom's CP System III hardware, the same hardware which Street Fighter III and its derivatives ran on. After not releasing a home platform for 26 years, it was finally announced on February 20, 2022 that Red Earth would receive its first port ever as a part of the Capcom Fighting Collection on June 24, 2022 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Gameplay Red Earth features two different game modes: a single-player Quest Mode and a two-player Versus Mode. In Quest Mode, the player chooses from one of the four main characters, and progresses through their character's storyline while fighting against a series of eight computer-controlled adversaries in one-on-one battles (like in the first Street Fighter), gaining experience points during each battle, which are used to improve the character's attack and defense and access new moves. In Versus Mode, two players fight against each other, each using any of the four main characters (including the same character as the other player). Red Earth uses a password feature that allows the player to play the game later on the same skill level their character reached when it ended the last time. The character is able to acquire new abilities depending on the skill level that has been reached. The fighting system itself is similar to previous Capcom fighting games such as the Street Fighter series with a few key differences. First of all, the vitality gauge of each computer-controlled opponent fought by the player during Quest mode is displayed across the bottom of the screen, and is much larger than the player's own vitality gauge. Also, as the player lands hits on their opponents, various coins and treasure chests come out. Collecting coins provides experience points, while various items can be found in treasure chests such as orbs (used to perform super moves) and food (which replenishes the player's vitality). These elements make the game very similar to a side-scrolling action game rather than a traditional fighting game, similar to Capcom's own adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons beat 'em up game. Red Earth is one of the few Capcom games with fatalities. They include splitting the opponent in half, decapitation, artery rupture, organ removal, and limb slicing. It also features multiple endings and hidden endings influenced by the player's actions, given choices (akin to Chun-Li's ending in Street Fighter II), amount of continues used and the manner of killing enemies. Characters Red Earth takes place on an alternate version of Earth sometime in the 14th century (the Japanese version states a post-apocalyptic 1999 however) where the world did not experience any technological revolutions or Renaissance and was still in a medieval/mythological state. A new country has risen by the evil Scion, who sends out various monsters to take over the world. Heroes The character select screen, from left to right: Tessa, Leo, Mai-Ling and Kenji Leo (voiced by Daisuke Gōri) - The King of Savalia (Greedia in War-Zard), who was transformed into a half-lion half-man state when an unknown force invaded his kingdom. The three wise men tried to remove the curse but couldn't. Now Leo uses the curse as his strength to "repay his debt to his countrymen" only to return to Savalia and find a large number of people (civilians and soldiers) have been kidnapped, and the monster Hauzer awaiting him. Kenji (Mukuro in War-Zard, voiced by Yukimasa Kishino) - The head of the Ramon family and leader of the Oniwabanshu, an elite ninja squadron who serve the Shogun of Zipang. When an unknown army of invaders attacks his country with flying blackships, the Shogun orders Kenji to assess the situation. Although Kenji secretly distrusts his Shogun and believes that he may be betraying the country, he goes along with everything during his investigation. Tessa (Tabasa in War-Zard, voiced by Tomoko Naka) - A female "sorcerologist" who studies the scientific aspects of magic. She lives in Icelarn and excels in the use of magic. When a large series of thunderstorms began occurring in her area, Tessa starts to investigate their cause, believing that they're not natural. When she meets an opponent, she can easily tell everything about him or her, whether the opponent is evil or good. Mai-Ling (Tao in War-Zard, voiced by Megumi Urawa) - A young talented martial artist from Gora. She finds her hometown in ruins after returning from a martial arts tournament. _______________ Developer(s) Capcom Publisher(s) Capcom Composer(s) Takayuki Iwai Platform(s) Arcade Release JP: October 23, 1996 NA: November 21, 1996 Genre(s) Fighting Mode(s) Single-player, multiplayer Arcade system CP System III #Red Earth #capcom #Retro
