Demolition Man - SNES - DE

Demolition Man is a game based on the 1993 film of the same name. Like the film, the game is also set in a dystopian Los Angeles in 1996. John Spartan is the most feared police officer in the country, hunting down his arch-enemy, Simon Phoenix. However, he also kills several innocent civilians in the process, and both characters are sentenced to cryogenic rehabilitation, where they are brainwashed for 30 years. However, the brainwashing does not go as planned, and upon awakening, Phoenix embarks on a new crime spree. But in those 30 years, the world has also changed, and Los Angeles has become San Angeles, a utopian and violence-free society. As a relic of a more violent past, police officer John Spartan is once again sent out to capture Phoenix. Demolition Man is a fast-paced run-and-gun game, with some levels taking place from an overhead perspective (similar to Smash TV). As John Spartan, the player spends most of their time shooting endless waves of "Cryocons" unleashed on the antiseptic world of the future. The standard weapon can be upgraded with a shotgun and a magnum, both with limited ammunition. In addition, various types of grenades can be collected and thrown independently of the weapon. Simon Phoenix appears as the end boss at the end of each level, directly tied to the film. The Sega-CD version of the game retains the same levels and gameplay but adds digitised clips from the film to introduce levels and advance the plot.
