This one covers the GameBoy game RoboCop, which is a 2D platformer amazingly like MegaMan. It's a popular concept, I guess -- it's the second game in the past month, I think, I've written an FAQ for with that idea! Yeah, I don't have much to say about this.

(Left/Right) Move left/right. (Down) Duck. ~~ A Button : Jump. ~~ B Button : Fire weapon. ~~ Start Button : Pause; just do something (move, shoot...) to unpause. ~~ Select Button: N/A. ~~ L/R Buttons : These only have functions on the GBA SP and GameBoy Player ways of playing the game. They will widen/narrow the screen, respectively. Otherwise, N/A. ---------------- Playing the Game ---------------- Let's first discuss the heads-up display. You'll see your Power gauge there; that is your HP, your health. You'll lose it as you get hit; get hit too many times and the game is over. You'll also see your score, level number, weapon and ammo, and time left. If you run out of time, your game is over. Luckily, a game over only means that you have the option to start the level over with a score of zero. You'll also find various enemies in the game. A lot of them use guns. You can dodge the bullets in various ways; if the enemy is on your level, you can often duck. With bullets from above or below, jumping or moving aside is often successful. Some also will do jumping kicks or toss projectile grenades at you; these are tougher to deal with, unless you happen to kill the enemy. There are a few pickups. The one with the "P" restores some health; the one with the three bullets allows you to shoot ... three bullets, each in a different direction. One allows you to shoot rockets that pierce enemies and keep going. There probably are some more, but I haven't gotten very far. Yeah, that's actually about it. Under normal circumstances, I would provide a walkthrough. However, this game continues for a while and is basically like that arcade game Rolling Thunder -- you're really just here to shoot people and get points. =/ There are some tips I can give, if it helps: -- Never conserve shots until you get a weapon pick-up. Your non-special weapon has infinite ammo. -- Motorcycles often try jumping over you and can be ducked under while shooting at the them. Same with those jump-kickers. -- Learn to recognize grenade tossers; if you're lucky, you can manage to hit the grenade, cause it to explode, and hurt them before it goes too far. -- If the higher gunmen get difficult, try getting underneath them almost, but not quite, in their line of fire. Fire vertically and you'll hit them. You can also try just randomly firing up and right as you go so you hit any that pop up randomly. -- Note that the bat-wielding enemies somehow do more damage to you, so take care of them when possible. -- WATCH YOUR BACK! -- GO SLOWLY (but not too slowly). -- KEEP MOVING! -- Ground-level shots can be ducked under; higher level shots are best jumped over or moved away from. -- If you start to be pelted by a stream of bullets, don't sit there and take all of them, even if you ARE shooting back. -- Try headshots in areas like Level 2. -- Barrels and similar objects are best dispatched via shots from up close. Any other tips I should mention? Please tell me!
