Cabinet Information

The 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.

Conversion

The ROM Board can be removed and Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja can be replaced and vice versa.

Game Introduction

The game is similar to Rolling Thunder, Batman, and Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja.

Hacks

  • Inspector Gadget - RoboCop is replaced with Inspector Gadget. The intro was changed, stages were edited, enemies changed and the music was also edited.

Miscellaneous

The dedicated cabinet is similar in design to Bad Dudes with its unusual curved marquee that is bowed outward.

CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,451 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,703 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 60,889 machines (3,615 unique titles).

Very Common - There are 83 known instances of this machine owned by RoboCop collectors. Of these, 12 of them are original dedicated machines, 8 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 63 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 52 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - No members have added this machine to their wish list. Please note that many collectors are not members or do not list their desires here, and it is likely that a number of collectors might purchase this machine if offered it at the right price. There is one VAPS member looking for a RoboCop circuit board set.

This game ranks a 3 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

For Sale - There are 4 VAPS members with RoboCop machines for sale. There is one VAPS member with an extra RoboCop circuit board for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them even though arcade operators 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.

In particular, since VAPS started out focusing on videogames, statistics for other types of machines should not (yet) be an indication of scarcity.

For a clue to value, look at absolute numbers of owners and potential owners above, compare a ratio of how many people want this game vs. how many people have this game (0%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

DIP switches are used to set options such as free play.

Trivia

This game was offered as a conversion kit. Rumor has it that 1000 were made. It was based upon the movie of the same name.
