It has been 6 months since the announcement of the delta city project; OCP are now in a desperate situation as they stand to lose billions of dollars if work does not commence within the week. The citizens of old Detroit have been reluctant to move from their homes so OCP has hired a special army group called THE REHABS. They are urban rehabilitation officers, who are routing people from their homes... ROBOCOP IS DRAWN INTO A BATTLE AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF DELTA CITY MOVES EVER CLOSER. The movie section of the game runs like an adventure. Like all adventures it has many twists and turns, so it is difficult to give an accurate flow of how the game will run. So we are not attempting to do so! Media break is used to provide an update of the events so far and creates the back drop to the game. DIRECTIVES: 1.SERVE THE PUBLIC TRUST 2.PROTECT THE INNOCENT 3.UPHOLD THE LAW ROBOCOP cannot violate these prime objectives - any violation will result in shut down. In the game Robocop is able to function in all environments. He is capable of walking, flying, driving & all forms of combat. DRIVING SECTION --------------- As a member of the metropolitan police force of Detroit, the security concepts ROBOCOP will be provided with a police turbo cruiser for active patrol duty. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD ------------------------ All of Detroit's precincts are within the jurisdiction of Robocop from up north & west to the interstate and south and east to the seaway and Canada. A restraining device has been fitted to the vehicle so the city boundaries are not violated. Robocop has also been provided with full geographical data of the city, complete with map displays, radars and location pointers to aid navigation around the city. The city is split into different urban areas: 1.Downtown business district complete with skyscrapers and modern ultra tech show case buildings. 2.The suburbs, the outskirts of the city with nice housing, trees & shopping mall. 3.The docks, an industrial area showing signs of decay as the recession bites hard. 4.The inner city of old Detroit, the run down slum area of Detroit where the site of Delta city is to be laid (This area is now sealed off with an electrified perimeter fence). On the map, particular attention has been put to the main areas involved in the game. At various times during the game, you may need to visit some of these locations:- 1. Rocket Motors - Abandoned disused car factory. 2. OCP Tower - The HQ of OCP. 3. Metro South Police HQ. 4. Twenty-four hour hotel. 5. Church In some driving sections, when you arrive at any of these locations the computer automatically takes over the game as the player sees a graphic backdrop with the 3D superimposed over it. From this point, Robocop will be on foot. Whilst on patrol Robocop will receive mission orders,reports and updates from police HQ. This data will be printed across Robocop's visor. It is through this system that mission orders will be conveyed to Robocop. Missions will include apprehending stolen "411" vehicles and the capture or destruction of criminals. It is likely, during patrol, that gunfire will be aimed from these vehicles; great care should be taken to avoid the unnecessary gun-fire. DRIVING PARAMETERS ------------------ The turbo cruiser is a fast efficient police car, it is able to accelerate to 60mph in 8 seconds with a top speed of 140 mph. It is able to pull hard at fast speeds & decelerate rapidly for turning corners, making it less hazardous. The vehicle's Turbo boost cuts in at 30mph up to 80mph, which is very useful for overtaking and for accelerating out of tight corners. DISPLAYS -------- The car dashboard has a speedometer mounted in the middle of the console and a map on the left hand side. On the steering wheel a small white display dot shows how far the steering wheel is turned and in what direction it is pointing. The car is also fitted with flashing police lights; these lights are automated and will flash automatically during arrest mode. The car has an active moving map display to show the player the location of any adversaries and himself in relation to the world. This is essential during high speed chases. Due to the map resolution it is split into 4 sections for the North East, South East, South West and North West areas of the city. Your vehicle is indicated by a GREEN square, the suspect vehicle with a RED square. DAMAGE & EFFICIENCY ------------------- The car is able to withstand a great deal of damage, although the more damage the car receives the less responsive & more difficult it may become to control. During the driving section, Robocop's efficiency reading is dedicated to the car and not Robocop. The efficiency reading shows the overall turbo cruiser efficiency. When Robocop is in action this reading will diminish due to the effect to weapons which can damage Robocop i.e. Head on collisions with buildings and other vehicles or heavy gunfire can destroy the turbo cruiser and light gunfire can slowly wear down the efficiency reading. Any reading below 30% will show a warning as the vehicle will have sustained a large amount of damage. It also may prove more difficult to drive and may incur loss to power and reaction due to the damage. The turbo cruiser will be destroyed when efficiency is reduced to zero. The player's score is calculated on the following:- How quick the mission is achieved. How much efficiency Robocop has remaining. An overall mission score. Score for the individual number of those eliminated. NOTE: It is possible to get a negative score if Robocop shoots any innocent people whilst on duty i.e. women and children. If a negative score is achieved at the end of the mission it is likely that the player will be decommissioned from the force and deactivated.

Keep on the road......although you can drive on sidewalks & open areas it will damage your vehicle and wear down efficiency. Keep an eye on the brake lights as you know if your chase vehicle is about to slam on the brakes or turn rapidly. When in pursuit of a vehicle, don't get too close as it is likely that it's doors will swing open with machine guns firing at you. Also look out for people shooting at you from the roadside or other vehicles. To apprehend a vehicle it is best to choose your moment , e.g. when on a long straight section of road use your turbo acceleration t...
