Key Features of RoboCop 2

Players navigate left‑to‑right scrolling levels while collecting or destroying two‑thirds of the drug "nuke" per stage.

The game requires arresting two‑thirds of suspects by colliding with them instead of shooting.

If collection or arrests fail, players must complete a shooting‑range challenge to continue.

The ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions add vertical movement and exploration areas for deeper level design.

Puzzle mini‑games are integrated to unlock progress in the 8‑bit versions.

The Amiga and Atari ST versions feature completely new levels that exploit the 16‑bit hardware.

The arcade cabinet supports up to two simultaneous players, each controlling a different RoboCop unit.

Each version reflects the movie’s storyline while introducing unique gameplay twists for its platform.
