As one would expect, the game is a tie-in to the [[Franchise/RoboCop 1987 smash movie featuring the titular cyborg super-cop.]] As [=RoboCop,=] the player must patrol the streets of Detroit, enforcing his Prime Directives while arresting lawbreakers of all types. Capture Emil Antonowsky, Clarence Boddicker, and Dick Jones, then jump the Entry Ramp to start multiball. Spell ROBOCOP for random rewards, or get some target practice and confront ED-209 for a million-point bonus, all while the game plays memorable quotes from the film.

Among pinball die-hards, ''[=RoboCop=]'' is considered a mediocre table, with lackluster artwork and a shallow ruleset; it's possible to do well at the game simply by repeatedly shooting the Entry Ramp jump and left spinner orbit. None of this matters one iota to the game's fans, who find it fast and fun, a back-to-basics game with great music and a memorable light show that provides a simple way to revisit the iconic movie.
