Cabinet InformationThe side art is similar to the movie poster and the bezel contains many stills from the film. The cabinet above is a conversion of an original Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja. The conversion kits were released with either a curved marquee (for the "Bad Dudes" cabinets) or with a flat marquee for use in other uprights.ConversionThe ROM Board can be removed and Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja can be replaced and vice versa.Game IntroductionThe game is similar to Rolling Thunder, Batman, and Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja.Hacks
MiscellaneousThe dedicated cabinet is similar in design to Bad Dudes with its unusual curved marquee that is bowed outward.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Very Common - There are 67 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 9 of them are original dedicated machines, 7 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 51 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 42 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalDIP switches are used to set options such as free play.TriviaThis game was offered as a conversion kit. Rumor has it that 1000 were made. It was based upon the movie of the same name.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the RoboCop Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nihon Bussan/AV Japan.
