RoboCop








 CHEAT MODE:





 Pause the game and type 'BEST KEPT SECRET', the action will


 reset and you'll start again with infinite energy.








	Okay, the total solution for Robocop and the way to do it...





	Level One: The Street


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		The most important things to remember is not to rush though


the levels - you only get into all sorts of trouble.  Always crouch down


when criminals run towards you, then hit them.


		If there are gunmen on the pavement, simply crouch down


and fire and they'll be unable to get you.  The men dressed in blue are a


real pain so when they jump towards you, kill them when they're in punching


distance just before they land.  And don't give them a chance to fire at


you.


		At the end of the level is ED-209 - he approaches when the


last man is killed.  Fire as he comes towards you, then jump as he fires


downwards at you, and open fire as he retreats.  Keep doing this


manouver until the machine is drestroyed.





	Level Two: The HideOut


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		The criminals fire from high platforms so try and knock


them out fast.  Watch out for the chainsaw men as they try and jump on


you, and be careful of the door which slams down.


		If you're having trouble with the criminals who fire out


of windows, jump onto crates and avoid their fire, then quickly leap off


and fire back.


		The van is the final obstacle on this level - try and


approach it with at least some three way bullets.  It only takes a couple


of shots to kill all of them men riding on top, then keep firing until the


van blows up with ease.





	PhotoFit


	~~~~~~~~


		This section can get very confusing.  The best tactic is


to concentrate on one side of the face - for example, if you're matching


the ears, just try and match the right ear, rather than looking at the


face as a whole.





	Level Three: The JunkYard


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		The main problem here are the giant magnets and the car


crushers.  To get past them easily, just position Robocopso his gun just


touches the obstacle, and when it rises to just above head height, rush


under it.


		To stand a chance of beating the giant crane you need the


manta gun, so when you get it, be careful not to waste it on standard


villains - punch them to save bullets.  Stand on the left of the screen,


and let rip when the crane approaches.





	Hostage Section


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		The way to succeed here is to aim just to the right of


the villain at about chest height and keep firing.  He eventually walks


into the firing line and drops dead.





	Level Four: Narcotics Factory


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		Keep an eye out for falling beams, and stay alert because


the criminals attack from all angles in large groups - be especially careful


they don't come out of the doors in front of you.


		The end of level guardian is another crane.  It's useful if


you can save some mants shots like on the previous level.  If you run out,


just stay to the extreme left and keep jumping and firing.





	Level Five: OCP


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		As well as criminals, you also have gun turrets firing at


you, which should be taken out as quickly as possible.


		The guardian is a green ED-209 - he's tough and you need to


fire and dodge quickly to survive.  Just jump when he shoots back and fire


whenever there's an opportunity to do so.





	Thermograph Photofit


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		Like the other photofit, concentrate on one half of the face.





	Level Six: OCP


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		The gun turrets shoot at you from higher levels but they're


a lot easier to take out.


		Look at the force fields before you attempt to cross them,


they come on in predictable patterns and it's easy to rush out when it's


safe to cross.


		The best way to deal with the robot bombers is to kneel


and fire before they start chucking explosives around.  Watch out for








criminals and gun turrets when you're travelling up in the lifts - they


tend to fire at you.  Don't be afraid to whizz back down again if things


aren't so hot.


		Another ED-209 lies in wait at the end of the level.  This


one needs a few accurate hits before it'll explode.





	Final Stage: President Held Hostage


	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


		As with the other hostage stage, stay just to the right of


Dick Jones and he should walk into your line of fire - although take


care here as he moves left and right faster than the previous villain.  Just


remember to keep following him with your gun sight and you should be able


to hit him.


		Good Luck - and stay out of trouble.
