Release 1988 Arcade, 8 bit 

Numerous versions appeared for home computers and video game consoles, most of them handled by Ocean. Unlike the other home versions, the Commodore 64, Amstrad and ZX Spectrum versions were mostly original games that only loosely followed the arcade version. In addition to a different soundtrack, the boss battles are replaced with a screen where the player must shoot a man holding a woman hostage (without hitting her). The original European C64 cassette tape version was notorious for a huge number of bugs (which were cleaned up in the US disk release).

RoboCop is a 1987 action movie

The theme music of the RoboCop Game Boy game was later reused in a commercial for Ariston washing machines in the United Kingdom. It was then covered by Chef Boyardee for a video on YouTube. This cover version was then later sampled in a song by Lil B (AKA Based God) called "In Down Bad".

Robocop for the Commondore 64 -  RoboCop – Couldn't be bothered to fix broken graphics, so made previous level impossible to complete. (Bug in 4th level, so devs put an impossible time limit on third level)
