Released for the Super Nintendo in 1992, RoboCop 3 is a shoot 'em up developed by Ocean. It blends shoot 'em up, action and platformer elements.

It came out in the SNES's second year on the market. Other notable SNES releases from 1992 include The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart and Final Fantasy V.

It is part of the RoboCop series; on the SNES you can also try RoboCop Versus The Terminator. The series also appears on other systems with RoboCop Versus The Terminator (Genesis) and RoboCop Versus The Terminator (Master System). Ocean also made Worms, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values for the SNES.

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

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 SNES 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.
