Demolition Man Overview
Demolition Man adapts its 1993 film source material into a platform game. The narrative follows police officer John Spartan, who is revived from cryostasis in a future, pacifist society called San Angeles to recapture the criminal Simon Phoenix.
Gameplay involves navigating levels from a side-scrolling perspective, with some stages using an overhead view. Players control Spartan, confronting numerous enemies known as cryocons. The primary firearm can be supplemented by finding a shotgun or magnum, though ammunition for these is finite. Grenades, which operate separately from the guns, are also available as collectibles.
Simon Phoenix serves as a recurring boss encountered at the conclusion of stages, with these confrontations drawing from events in the film. A separate Sega CD release maintains the same levels and mechanics but incorporates video footage from the movie to provide context between stages.
