VERY difficult to choose between Robocop & Batman.

The Robocop licence showed (yet again) that the humble Speccy could pull off a game that was not only as good as, but actually better than it's arcade counterpart, what with all the extra levels.

However Batman had more variety & especially on the Amiga those Batmobile/Batwing bits were incredible (for it's time)

I've gone for Batman.

The Addams Family for me. It was a brilliant platformer with smooth scrolling graphics and great sound (AMIGA Version) The C64 wasn't too bad either - and better than the 57% Zzap!64 gave it!

Of that group Robocop...
Think we should also have an Ocean's worst TV/Film license. My vote goes to Knight Rider.

I can't look past Robocop, for me the the 128k Spectrum version was Ocean's best ever game. Followed the plot of the film really well, looked great and had not only a superb soundtrack but loads of digitised speech too!

The Untouchables for me (although I wanted to go for Platoon as this IS the best but its not there!)

I've gone with Jurassic Park on the grounds that they worked with the various different technology available to work the best games most suited to the various platforms. All good games in their own right as well.

Only ever played Robocop in the arcade (and loved it). So I choose that, even though I have not encountered any conversions.

Feel a bit sorry for Hudson Hawk sitting on 0 votes at the minute.

In terms of fun to be had paying the game to fun to be had watching the film it's got to be light years ahead of the pack, only Addams Family comes close!

:cry: Wahhh.No Platoon yet Hudson Hawk gets a mention......?

From the list then:Batman The Movie.Loved it on C64 (with classic porky Batman sprite), but game was even better on the ST/Amiga with the superb car/Batwing sections.

I voted for Robocop. Played it the most back in the day and was working in the room next to Mike and Dawn as they wrote it. Remember as well that Data East based the arcade game on the home computer version, the arcade version was made afterwards, the first time that ever happened I think.

Hudson Hawk (C64) - A polished, cartoony platformer with puzzle elements which was a break from the ‘Traditional’ Ocean tie ins. Shame it’s not as well-known as the others due to the rubbish film it’s attached to…………
