@dantemendes I could finish it with one 20p, think the score was always in the 700.000 range, would love it to come out on arcade archives. Definetly in my top arcade games along power drift, buggy boy, super sprint, eswat, rolling thunder and jackal.

ROBOCOP for arcade (Data East/1988), classic run-and-gun platformer based on the 1987 movie.
It was very popular, leading to various home versions loosely based on it, for computers such as the ZX Spectrum and C64. Made by Ocean Software, the computer versions were major hits, specially in the UK.

Was this the best multi-sport game on the Commodore 64?
I reckon it was! California Games launched in 1987 as one of the flagship titles in Epyx’s popular “Games” series, following Summer Games, Winter Games, and World Games. Those were good, but California Games was the bomb!
I loved skateboarding, BMX biking, Hacky Sack, frisbee, and bodyboarding in real life, so the fact that the game featured Half-Pipe Skateboarding, Surfing, BMX, Footbag (Hacky Sack), Flying Disk (Frisbee), and Roller Skating meant I couldn’t wait to play it.
I wasn’t disappointed — the game looked, sounded, and played beautifully on my C64. It was challenging and heaps of fun playing against mates.
It became Epyx’s biggest hit, selling over 300,000 copies in the first nine months across formats (with total sales reaching around 500,000 by the end of 1989).
Zzap!64 magazine gave it a massive (and well-deserved) 97%, calling it:
“Epyx surpass themselves yet again with another incredible sports simulation. Don’t miss it.”
I loved it — it was the best in the series in my opinion. But what did you think of it? Love it or hate it?

@JazRignall Hyper sports and mikie were superb speccy games, took about 5 of us all afternoon to realise the horse vault on hyper sports you needed to let the man lean forward, great to have that game again on the ps5 through arcade archives.
