Demolition Man is a Sega Mega Drive action game developed by Alexandria and published by Acclaim Entertainment. Based on the titular 1993 film Demolition Man, the game was first released in the United States in January 1995, and was later ported to the Sega Mega-CD in November of that same year with full-motion video movie clips and a CD audio soundtrack.

The Mega-CD version of Demolition Man was the last game released for the platform in North America. A Japanese Mega Drive version was planned, but cancelled[5].

Plot

Demolition Man follows the events of the film, with players controlling convicted Los Angeles cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) attempting to take down career criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), first in 1996 and then in 2032.
