There are even two different RoboCop games. One was made by Ocean Software for computer market (it is this game), and I found it quite good - at least it was on my Spectrum. Several gameplay modes, multi-level stages, etc.

Second was made by the Data East, and target for arcades (it's this one). It was ported to computers too. And it's this version that available on site.

Funny enough, regardless of Ocean copyright, and clearly visible in Apple II screenshot "Licensed from Ocean Software Ltd." mark, Moby said that it's first, Ocean version "adapted from arcade one".

And boxshots definitely messed between this two games. Huh.

...A-and no, there are _three_ games. Commodore boxshots shown version identical to NES (and Giant Bomb text confirms it), but actual screenshots all relates to Ocean version! There is some mystery here for sure!
