Seeing as how I work for MicroSearch Computers in Houston and we are the ones that did the Amiga graphics for RoboCop II (Well, Mike Ribble, one of our employers did), let me jump in here and try to set things straight. We were contacted by the producer of RoboCop II to provide computer graphics for the film. We were told they had previously contacted CBM directly for computer support and were turned down. This is why there is no reference to Amiga or CBM in the credits. This is also why Apple is in the credits. They provided machines and support for some of the graphics (specifically the programming of RoboCop2). However MicroSearch Computers and Mike Ribble are listed in the credits. P.S. A lot of the graphics we did were left on the cutting room floor along with the plot lines they referred to. P.P.S. Early on the during the production we were told that the Amiga graphics looked "too good" and not "computer" enough. So Mike had to reduce the number of colors he was using, make them more garish and make the graphics blockier. So go figure.
