ROBOCOP
VARIOUS, 1988
When the movie RoboCop saw release late in 1987, audiences lapped up its dystopian themes, humour and extreme violence. Having acquired the movie rights at script stage, Ocean made bank with the official computer game, licensing it to coin-op company Data East, which it then used as a basis for its home versions. Over its multiple stages, the chrome cop stomps and shoots through various grizzled baddies before facing off against the dreaded ED- 209. Following the film closely (including a brilliant photofit section), RoboCop became the smash hit that propelled Ocean into the big time.
