RoboCop 3 is a shoot 'em up released for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, developed by Flying Edge and published by Acclaim. It blends shoot 'em up, action and platformer elements.

It is part of the RoboCop series; on the Genesis you can also try RoboCop Versus The Terminator. The series also appears on other systems with RoboCop Versus The Terminator (SNES) and RoboCop Versus The Terminator (Master System). Flying Edge also made WWF Super WrestleMania, Steel Empire and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone for the Genesis.

RoboCop 3 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you dislike high difficulty and screens full of bullets
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing RoboCop 3 is like

Shoot 'em ups (shmups) put you in a ship facing waves of enemies and bullets. Runs are short and intense, and the goal is to survive, collect power-ups and push your high score.

Tip for newcomers: Focus on your ship's small hitbox rather than the flood of bullets, and learn which power-ups suit each stage. Most shmups are designed to be replayed many times.
