Technocop is a platformer released in 1990 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, developed by Gray Matter and published by Razorsoft.

It came out in the Genesis's second year on the market. Other notable Genesis releases from 1990 include Populous, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker and Super Monaco GP.

Gray Matter also made B.O.B., NHL All-Star Hockey '95 and Wayne's World for the Genesis.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Technocop is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
