Demolition Man (video game)
Demolition Man is the title of several video games based on the 1993 science fiction action film of the same name starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. These games were released on various platforms, and while sharing the same source material, they often differ significantly in gameplay and style.
The Demolition Man video game adaptations generally fall into different genres, including side-scrolling action, run-and-gun, and first-person shooter. The plot generally follows the film's narrative, involving John Spartan, a cryogenically frozen police officer, thawed out in the future to apprehend the equally thawed criminal Simon Phoenix.
Different versions of the game were developed and published by various companies for platforms such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega CD, and 3DO. These versions often varied in their level design, character sprites, and specific plot points adapted from the film. Due to these variations, the overall reception of Demolition Man as a video game property has been mixed, with some versions being better received than others depending on the platform and gameplay mechanics.
