Up until around 1991 If Ocean licensed it I was getting it on either Speccy. C64 or Amiga (I changed systems quite rapidly back then (thankfully Highlander was an exception - never had it). I remember having Robocop on the speccy +2 and LOVING it (one of my fave games of all time happens to be for my favourite movie of all time) and despite warnings from friends to avoid the C64 version when I moved to the reliable old grey bread bin I went and got it. Result? Driving myself to rage insanity being unable to complete the drug factory level. By the way did anyone prefer Superchamps on Channel 4 to Run The Guantlet?

I worked on the SNES version of Mission Impossible. It was like Flashback. Rotoscoped sprites. It was being developed at Merit Studios. There was a top down speed boat section which used the Micro machines engine. All the sprites for the overhead section were pre rendered . I just remember some big arguments and apparently someone walked out with a hard drive.

Interesting point about Robocop. Ocean Software managed to nab the licence so quickly that Data East had to licence the rights to make the game from Ocean (Hence why there is an Ocean reference in the arcade game). But then Data East designed and released the game and Ocean simply adapted that design to the home computers, taking out most of the hard work of design. How smart and cheeky was that??? :D

Also worth mentioning that Lothar Matthaus: Die Interaktive Fusball Simulation it's just the German title of European Champions! (Which was also released as Olympique De Marseille Super Football in France and I believe it also got a different licensed title in Italy). And what most people fail to mention, this is a SERIES of Football games, this is the sequel to the much beloved Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, and it got another sequel under the name of Wembley International Soccer. European Champions is IMO the most underrated football game on Amiga (maybe even more than Sierra Soccer?). This game has 2 camera options, 3 different ways to pass/shoot the ball, some real tight controls, up to 1 minute replays.... and it played incredibly well and it was really fun to play. I'm always surprised how this game barely gets any love while Emlyn Hughes International Soccer is always very well rated since this is basically an EVOLUTION of Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. It was done by the very same coder and if you put the Amiga version of Emlyn Hughes International Soccer side by side with European Champions, you'll see it has basically the same sound effects and a lot of the graphics are similar too.

Great video! The classic Ocean licenced game formula (when done well) as you say starting from Platoon onwards was arguably the perfect way to adapt a movie: take three to four iconic scenes from the film, turn them into 'mini-games', and you're sweet. Growing up I always knew what I was getting from an Ocean licenced title would be variety. That isn't to say they could do no wrong, obvs the mini-games had to be fun, but I knew if I hated one part of the game maybe one of the other parts would still be fun. My top would be the driving section in the Amiga/ST version of Batman The Movie -- the worst part for me was having to play through the platform/run and gun level to get to it. Not that the platform level was bad, but a non-linear ability to skip to the car bit without cheat codes would be welcome! But yeah. Always knew when you bought an Ocean Software licenced game you were basically buying 3 or 4 individual games combined under one licence, really.

Fabulous video! As an 80’s gamer I always felt that Ocean were more “premier” due to their box art, bigger budgets and huge multi page adverts in all the mags (Zzap 64 was always filled with glossy ads for the latest movie tie-in). The biggest thing for me was when “Bat-mania” kicked in and the licensed movie game was storming (especially on Amiga!), and suddenly Ocean seemed to be getting all the big coin op conversions and cool licenses….keep these vids coming chap, they are such a pleasure to watch!

Incredible work. One funny bit to compliment the Robocop bugginess --> Batman: The Movie, on the C64, shipped initially with the Axis Chemical plant (first level) impossible to pass, at least in NTSC. This was even worse than Robocop. We tried to pass it for months until the local software house told us it was a bug and exchanged our box for one with a "v1.1" sticker, with a fixed first level.

Thoroughly enjoyable video again Kim! Very nice to get a complete picture of the licensing history of Ocean, as that was seemingly their forte back in the 80s at least. Maybe the word "seemingly" should be emphasized, as it was almost always hit and miss for various reasons and releasing unfinished games is indeed beyond shameful but hey, there were gems too! And they did some pretty fine Gameboy titles indeed, like the Super Hunchback game they made for the system, which is very competently programmed.

Special mention too, for the Platoon C64 soundtrack. Stunning, dark, atmospheric and each level is best represented with ideal fitted sounds. The "Tunnels" level in particular, is stunning. The game all the same was bastard hard. It was nigh on impossible to make out the tripwires that constantly caught you out as you tried to memorize the maze like jungle in level 1.

The first level of Total Recall was on an Amstrad Action cover tape. I could never finish it because I didn’t have a clue what I was supposed to be doing 😂

I know for sure the Genesis port of Waterworld had it's prototype released on SEGA Channel, I was a subscriber and distinctly remember playing it. Same thing happened with Nightmare Circus, that Mega Drive game that disappeared for years and reemerged in Brazil in it's near same unfinished state as a full release.

Brilliant commentary Kim. I actually didn't realize that Ocean had that many good games. I mean most I played as a kid were those crap license games... Knight Rider, Miami Vice... Man. At one point if some of my friends had a copy of any Ocean game I wouldn't even bother to (pirate) copy it. :D

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your content. I can't believe I can indulge in 2 hours of Ocean licenced games. They do hold a special place in the heart of UK 80s micro owners. Thanks Kim!

Ocean almost released a licensed game weekly on AMIGA. lol Anyway. Ocean had several of the best music composers in gaming history ever. Ocean is one of the most famous for game music of them all last 40 years.

Its sad that Ocean picked such a lot of terrible licenses, particularly in the later days when it seemed they were looking for cheap licenses with little interference, but at that point there was no good films going cheap. Even supposed large films like Waterworld don't seem like there would have been any competition. Had they got good licenses that encouraged the games to sell well, they could perhaps have continued longer.

I've been binging your stuff lately Kim, and It's actually incredible how much work you pour into every video, especially given how frequently you upload content. If I wasn't broke and struggling to keep a roof over my head, I would have supported you on patreon a long time ago. I still intend to if and when things improve for me.
