Re: A question about the first Robocop game

Because the pictures don't match. :)
Sometimes you think they are equal but not...
It will move only when both are the same.
Press fire after last piece and if the picture is ok it will move.

It happens.

Re: A question about the first Robocop game

I didn't understand well, but you have to use left/right to change draw (eyes, ears, etc) and the fire button to advance in the draw until complete it.
