RoboCop actually aims for the bad guy's crotch a few times in the movie, another example of key jingling

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

It might be cruel but I think it's an effective place to shoot when it comes to crime because it means that if hit they won't be able to produce children meaning a child won't have to deal with a criminal father. I'm joking by the way don't shoot people in the d#%/

Um, I'm pretty sure he does eat baby food in the scrapyard, Lewis gets it for him intending that if he needed it, he could probably use it in place of his nutrient paste. And then he shoots the jars for aiming calibration, so if you shoot the health to pick it up that's a double reference. Not to defend the gameplay one iota, though. Attack that instead of valid artistic choices.

So what happened with this game would be kind of crazy. Shoutouts to ProtonJon for finding this out during his Superman 64 let’s play.

[@SilverMelee]

Having recently beat Rogue City, I can say it's honestly pretty impressive how that game does its callbacks and references so well while this game does it so poorly. Also on the topic of Rogue City and baby food, there is an optional note you can find from a baby food company early on that offers to sponsor Robo in exchange for a lifetime supply of the stuff. It's the only reference to such in the game, though; all healing in Rogue City is done through using special OCP batteries to repair his systems, so it's easy to brush off the note as the company just hearing wrong.
