RoboCop Versus the Terminator

Enemy projectiles move very slowly (almost comically so), so even if you can't shoot them down, you can usually outrun them. You'll blast your way through a construction site, a research facility, an abandoned building, a Terminator factory, and a downtown area with a killer skyline. Breaking up the monotony is a first-person shooting sequence not unlike the sandspeeder stage in Super Star Wars (SNES, 1992). For bosses you'll face a massive terminator "tank" and an amazing hologram face composed of electrical charges. The game's ominous, bass-heavy soundtrack is appropraite but not particularly memorable. Robocop Vs. Terminator's main flaw is the preponderance of cheap hits, including falling girders at the construction site and twirly-bird things that emerge from the floors of the factory stage. Robocop Vs. Terminator is a terrific way to let off some steam, and a handy four-letter password lets you save your progress.

RoboCop vs. The Terminator for Game Gear holds up pretty well, however, this one suffers from some slowdown and a horrible case of breakup. The voice digitization is very good, yet the game is a little difficult.

Nice try, but this just doesn't happen for me. The blood, of course, is gone and the Mode 7 sequence is very slow and choppy. The comic book-esque cinema sequences are innovative and new, but the intensity isn't there.
