John Spartan is the country´s most fearsome cop and hunts his nemesis, Simon Phoenix.
However in doing so, he kills several innocent civilians and both characters are sentenced to cryostasis rehabilitation where they will be brainwashed for 30 years.
However the brainwashing does not go as planned and upon waking up, Phoenix goes on a new crime spree.
However in 30 years the world has also changed and Los Angeles has become San Angeles, a utopian and violence-free society.
As a remnant of a more violent past, police officer John Spartan is once again sent to capture Phoenix.
Demolition Man is a fast-paced platform game, with some levels taking place in an overhead perspective (similar to Smash TV ).
As John Spartan, the player will spend most of his time shooting endless waves of "cryocons" released upon the antiseptic world of the future.
The standard weapon can be upgraded with a shotgun and magnum, both with limited ammo.
Additionally, various types of grenades can be collected, which are thrown independently of the firearm.
Simon Phoenix appears as a boss character at the end of every level that is directly tied in with the movie.
The Sega CD version of the game retains identical levels and gameplay, but adds digitized clips from the film to introduce levels and advance the plot.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
