Sega of America was very pleased with GEMS and went on to distribute it to their various developers and publishers. The result was GEMS, a 16-bit sound driver with a focus on MIDI interactivity. The team consisted of Jonathan Miller creating drivers and firmware, Burt Sloane programming, and Chris Grigg and Mark Miller providing the software’s overall design. Seeking to address this, Sega of America reached out to developer Recreational Brainware to produce a solution. Unlike Japanese composers, who were more familiar with writing sound drivers and working with FM synthesis, their Western counterparts struggled to produce quality sounds. Before G.E.M.S., we as composers/sound designers had almost nothing.Įarly Sega Genesis hardware documentation was limited in all areas, but especially in audio capabilities. was definitely the best sound driver/editor that was made available to the general public during the first half of the 90's.

Each level ends with a boss battle, featuring Terminators, heavy tanks and RoboCop's famous adversaries ED-209 and Cain (also known as RoboCop 2). Enemies in present-day Detroit include mainly street hooligans and other criminal elements, while the future is, of course, populated by deadly machines: Terminators, robotic dogs and spiders, and many automated weapons. The game is split evenly between present and future levels. Although all weapons have unlimited ammunition, only two can be carried at a time and, if killed, the currently equipped weapon is lost. RoboCop starts the game with a basic pistol, but other weapons can be found, such as grenade launchers and flamethrowers, laser guns, self-guided missiles and others. Many enemies stand in RoboCop's way and must be destroyed using 8 different weapons. The game is a platformer with strong shooting elements and consists of 10 levels. Years later, in a post-apocalyptic future, RoboCop is reactivated and must help the human resistance by attacking and defeating Skynet once and for all. By tapping into the computer network, he becomes the seed from which the malevolent Skynet grows. The player controls RoboCop, who during his police work on the streets of Detroit falls into a trap of Terminators sent from the future.
RoboCop versus The Terminator on Sega systems is only loosely based on the comic. The crossover of the two famous 80's cyborgs in the Dark Horse comic book led to several game adaptations.
