Thanks! Yeah, totally understandable about RoboCop RC - it isn’t without its flaws and is certainly rough around the edges, one would have to be a big fan of the franchise to forgive all the bugs. Thanks to the mods that bring back the original movie SFX, the game feels much more immersive. A major hook to play it for me is Peter Weller returning to voice Robo, if anything I’ll try to finish it for that reason alone.

I hope to try out that WCW-nWo Revenge game, sounds interesting. My other one I’d like to try would be WWF No Mercy, it’s still touted as the crème de la crème of wrestling games and there’s a loyal and active modding community for it to this day, amazingly.

I’ll have to look into the mods, I bought RoboCop RC on deep sale this summer but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Despite being a somewhat kinky AA game it looked cool and seem to have gotten quite good reviews so I’m looking forward to it.

  It is quite decent indeed, what I love is the solid, passionate attempt at faithfully adhering to the source material, paired with the courage to expand it authentically.
  
  Where Rogue City needed more immersion is the sound effects. The sound carries the first film as almost its own character, and it’s no wonder it won the Special Achievement Oscar. Most of the mods I have installed for the SFX are from Nexus, and replace the sounds of Robo’s steps, Auto-9 gun, HUD, targeting, punching, breaching, etc., with their original movie versions. There are other mods out there for RC, but imo those classic sounds are absolutely essential for the RoboCop experience.

Wow, I didn’t know about all that for RoboCop. If I’m honest, I’ve never actually watched the movies. I know… I know. I should have by now. Especially considering I’m a big fan of dystopian cyberpunk type stuff. Maybe after I give it a watch I’ll be more interested in the game.

I’ve heard about No Mercy being the king of the hill, but I haven’t tried it either. Warzone was… not great. lol. I much preferred WCW-NWO Revenge of the two. Those are the only two I owned back in the day, so I mainly boot them up for nostalgia purposes.

When you say No Mercy has a modding community, are you talking about a PC release of some sort or romhacks?

  I’m not sure on the details (am yet to delve into it proper), but from what I can spot it is 64-based so looks like it’s through an emulator and with asset/texture packs. Likely similar to PCSX2’s texture mods
