RoboCop GBA (Prototype) – The Cancelled 2002 Sidescroller, Preserved by Hidden Palace Titus Software was not known for quality. Their catalogue is a graveyard of licensed games that ranged from mediocre to outright infamous. So when a cancelled GBA RoboCop prototype surfaced — published by Hidden Palace in January 2022 from a 2002 development build — the bar for expectations was set accordingly low. The surprise is that it's actually decent. The GBA version was announced alongside a Game Boy Color RoboCop title (a top-down game that did see release in Europe in 2001), but while the GBC edition made it to shelves, this sidescrolling GBA counterpart was quietly cancelled. The prototype is late in development, playable from start to finish, and plays in a style reminiscent of the original RoboCop arcade game and its home ports — side-on action with the kind of deliberate, heavy movement that suits the character. There are rough edges, as expected from an unfinished build, but the fundamentals are functional and the game is completable. For fans of the RoboCop franchise, GBA prototype collectors, or anyone curious what a Titus game looks like when it almost worked, this is a rare find preserved in physical form. 🎮 Compatible with: Game Boy Advance · GBA SP · Nintendo DS ✅ Available in 6 shell colors: Clear Green, Gray, Red, Clear Blue, Green, Clear Red
