[TAS] Genesis Robocop vs. the Terminator by Cardboard in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1041M
TAS originally published on 2008-01-14
RoboCop versus The Terminator (1993) is based on a comic book that is a typical example of two popular but completely unrelated fiction universes merged into one. Such a process usually results in ruined timeline coherence for either, and this game is no exception.
As a result, we get a pretty wild mishmash of RoboCop's and Terminator's backstories in a silly plot accompanied by equally silly gameplay. This includes seemingly inescapable bullet sprays, leotard-clad baddies, exploding heads, hidden 1-ups conveniently placed in molten lava, and so on. The sheer frustration RoboCop experiences from all this madness can only be vented by banging his head on a rock!
(You wish any of this was a joke, but it's actually all there.)
The Genesis version of this game is notable for the amount of gore and other PG-13 goodies, as well as for the ability to abuse death and other things that make it most suitable for a TAS.

This game carries all the satire of the original film. I feel more satirical for having watched this TAS. Thank you.

[@antblaster9k]

ultimate irony that robocop is being controlled by a scripted bot

[@sleepykirbo6392]

I remember only getting to that scaffolding level (level 3) and only now have I noticed the background, so simple yet so nice

[@zigaudrey]

I still wonder how you get gradual speed from hanging rail.
The musics are badass. The controllable missiles are OP.
Look like death isn't penalizing.

[@Reinome864]

Because his hands are greasy and his legs need some grease 😄

"The musics are badass"
Yeah, that's because it was done by Tommy Tallarico, as usual for the period. The guy had a policy where he refused to release a soundtrack unless he could sit at home rocking out to himself.

It's a TAS run mate. Tool Assisted Speedrun. It's a programme playing it mate not a person, it would be impossible for a person to put the correct inputs in on tome to do it, that's how he's flying along the hand rails 👍

[@zigaudrey]

@@blinkumissit1 I know what a TAS is. And that gradual speed on rail also happened in casual walkthrought.

@@CopiousDoinksLLC No, it was composed by Mark Miller, not that fraud known as Tommy Tallarico

No. This game can’t even come close to Gauntlet 4.

Amazing, indeed

[@feosTAS]

I love how music in zero kamikaze sounds (much better than on snes)

[@williamzeo2493]

Oh the 80's in its glory!
Oddly enough, the bad Genesis sound drive looks cool on this game because it sounds robotic, this game is difficulty as hell, as a kid I never passed the second stage.

Wha...

[@truesergiel]

What the hell happend in the end?

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

This is probably the most fun Robocop game to ever exist and there's a very simple reason - Robocop can move fast. In every other game, they tried to follow the cardinal rule of Robocop's character design that he has to be a slow, immobile lump of steel in order to give the impression that he was indestructible... And sure enough, every time they did that, the games just weren't fun to play because most of the enjoyment of playing shooting games is being able to dodge enemy bullets and return fire (which Robocop simply couldn't do).
RvT was the only game where they said: "Screw it, we know this doesn't really make sense but we've got to make a video game that's playable, make it so."
