RoboCop 3, ZX Spectrum
RoboCop 2, ZX Spectrum
Based on Irvin Kirshner‘s underrated 1990 sequel to RoboCop, in RoboCop 2 you once again take the role of the cyborg cop of the future in order to uphold the law and protect the innocent. RoboCop 2 was developed and published by Ocean Software and released soon after the film came out.
RoboCop, ZX Spectrum
The ZX Spectrum version of RoboCop – based on the 1987 film of the same name – was developed and published by Ocean Software in 1988, and was such a hit that it went on to become the top-selling Spectrum game of 1989, according to Gallup (the company that used to collate and publish the UK’s music and video game charts). The Spectrum version actually remained in the sales charts for over a year and half – it entered the charts in December of 1988 and was still in the top five in February of 1991, which is insane… THAT is what you call a “big hit“!
Super Chase HQ, Game Boy
Super Chase HQ is the second version of Taito‘s classic arcade driving game, Chase HQ, that was released for the original Nintendo Game Boy. It was first released in 1994, and you’d expect it to be much better than the disappointing first Game Boy Chase HQ, which came out in 1990, but…
Chase HQ, Game Boy
There are two versions of Taito‘s classic arcade driving game, Chase HQ, available for the original Game Boy, and this is the first one – developed by British company Bits Studios and first released in 1990 in North America and 1991 in Japan.
Chase HQ, PC Engine
The PC Engine version of Taito‘s classic car chase game, Chase HQ, is pretty decent. It was ported by Daiei Seisakusho for Taito , and is reasonably accurate, although it’s not quite as good as the arcade original itself. No surprises there, really, because the PC Engine (or the North American TurboGrafx-16 counterpart) is a small 8-bit console that was known for punching above its weight, but it wasn’t able to perform miracles.
Super Chase HQ, Super Nintendo
Super Chase HQ is an enhanced port of the classic Taito driving game, Chase HQ. It appeared in arcades first, under the title “Super Chase: Criminal Termination” and was ported to the Super Nintendo by Taito themselves and first released in 1993. Like its arcade counterpart it is a single-player only game.
Super Chase: Criminal Termination, Arcade
Super Chase: Criminal Termination was first released into arcades by Taito in 1993, followed soon after by a Super Nintendo version called “Super Chase HQ“. It is an enhanced sequel to the classic Chase HQ, and Special Criminal Investigation, and features viewpoints that change, depending on where you are in the game, and what vehicle you’re driving. In fact, this moving camera feature has been so well implemented by the developers that it really enhances the dynamism of the exciting car-chase gameplay.
Virtua Cop, Arcade
Virtua Cop is an arcade lightgun shooter developed by Sega AM2, directed by Katsunori Itai and supervised by Yu Suzuki. It was first released into arcades by Sega in 1994.
