Anyone ever seen one?
All the reviews at the time suggested it was being released on the Spectrum and would be available on cassette and disk.
I've seen cassette versions sell on Ebay for ridiculous prices (I think the last one went for about £350!). Surely the disk version is the holy grail, but does it exist?

I've never seen it in the wild. I do have it on disk though but its just a conversion of the tape

Re: Robocop 3 +3 Disk
I think it would be enough if someone could simply say that it existed!
I always find it fascinating to have these tantalizing existence questions. A bit like the Mire Mare discussions on whether something was actually created, how many were made, is it still out there somewhere!
Games were selling in such small numbers in those final years that there could well be a few out there, but very few people have actually seen it

Re: Robocop 3 +3 Disk - what is THE HOLY GRAIL?
Just found that there is an entry on the 'missing' list on the Spectrum Disk Preservation page over on World of Spectrum.

This would suggest that it should definitely be out there - SOMEWHERE!
Interestingly, the Addams Family is another late Ocean title that is on there too. That's another game that is extremely rare and collectible in cassette form. The disk version, to quote Blackadder 'like the dog that speak Norwegian', even rarer!
Which brings me to the question on my original post. What is the 'holy grail' for a Spectrum collector? Something that's genuinely rare or even unique. Well, there is plenty of extremely rare games. Stuff like 'Beatle Quest' that ran into copyright issues and only sold mail order in very small quantities.
