@@retrobutionSHG I like the dark feel of the prime directives show, taking place in the future after lots of Robocop's fellow human friends and officers have died, with the police force, and even his own son looking at him as being antiquated, and in need of replacing!!!
@@retrobutionSHG Robocop literally screaming in rage after not being able to resist a directive telling him to kill his officer friend, John Cable, and then pounding a nearby criminal to death with his hands is a disturbing moment!!! :(
01:56 The game came out in '88 though, right, not, '92? Even Robocop 2 on cartridge was 1990. I think it was maybe re-released on budget in '91 or '92 perhaps, when the Amstrad 8-bits new and old were on their last legs.
@@retrobutionSHG - no worries. It was otherwise a very well crafted review! And, like you, I never had this on my Amstrad at the time either, but I played it on my friend's Spectrum version and loved it. I didn't feel too bad though as I got the - also excellent - Batman The Movie by Ocean not much later on and that produced a very similar game 'feel' that happily satisfied me. Cheers.

That loading screen with its black Robocop predicted RoboCable decades in advance!!!
I haven't seen any of the Prime Directive movies, so I had to look this one up... But yeah, I see what you're getting at...

Yeah the premise does sound interesting... Might have to look into it

If there's one thing the franchise does right, it's disturbing moments... Robocop 2 was pretty much Disturbing Moments: The Movie...
