Developed by Ocean, RoboCop 3 arrived on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 as a platformer.

It landed about 7 years into the NES's life. Other notable NES releases from 1992 include Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 and Yoshi's Cookie.

It is part of the RoboCop series; on the NES you can also try RoboCop and RoboCop 2. The series also appears on other systems with RoboCop Versus The Terminator (SNES) and RoboCop Versus The Terminator (Genesis). Ocean also made Lemmings, Jurassic Park and The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt for the NES.

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

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 NES 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 RoboCop 3 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.
