The Sega Master System version
A side-scrolling film tie-in from Flying Edge, and one of the pricier European-only carts.
The Master System version of RoboCop 3 was developed by Eden Entertainment Software and published by Flying Edge, released in Europe in November 1993. Unlike the Amiga and Atari ST versions, the console versions use side-scrolling platform gameplay.
What the press said at the time
“RoboCop 3’s worth playing for a few hours but those robotic yawns soon start flying faster than a rocket-powered lawman. What a shame.”

The Sega Genesis version
An ordinary, frequently criticized licensed shooter whose European cart costs much more than the US one.
On the Genesis, RoboCop 3 is a Flying Edge release built by Eden Entertainment Software, which reached North America and Europe in November 1993. It is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up platformer based on the Super NES version, with six levels and a flamethrower as an extra weapon that the NES and Super NES games lack.
Reviews were cool. Mean Machines Sega called it an insipid shooter with a ridiculous level of difficulty, Sega Pro said it was held back by flickery sprites and a dull format, and Electronic Games criticized its graphics and lack of originality.
What the press said at the time
“In fact, the only nice touch in the entire game is a jetpack section which shows off Murphy's new abilities, but that alone isn't enough to save this waste of space.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
It gives RoboCop a flamethrower absent from the NES and Super NES versions.
Sega Pro scored the Genesis game 54%, citing flickery sprites and a boring format.

- ZX Spectrum. The ZX Spectrum version is a side-scrolling platformer with a horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up section and a jet pack, in monochrome graphics only.
- Amiga. To fight piracy, Ocean made the Amiga version require an Electronic Key plugged into the second joystick port, yet it was cracked a week before release.
Before you buy
Among US carts the loose cart sits about at the middle. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one, both loose and complete, so the US cart is the cheaper way in. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
