  Demolition Man is a very popular game of the 90s, featuring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes's story from the movie with the same name. The game is a run and gun action video game, with John Spartan, the main character, being controlled by the player. John tries to find and defeat Simon Phoenix, who is his arch-nemesis. Simon Phoenix is considered the Boss of the final level, but still, John Spartan has to fight him several times through the course of the game, until he will be fully defeated in the final level, at the cryo-prison.

Thanks to its popularity, the game was made available for several platforms: Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), 3DO and Sega CD.

The games for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, NES and Sega CD are a bit different than the one on 3DO. Some stages of the game are platform game type view, with jumping and climbing being part of the actions the character can perform. The player can fight in eight directions. He will have to get past lots of enemies, most of them being gunmen. They can take several hits before they die. The game is also featuring different power-ups, which can be found around the stages. They can increase health or ammunition.

The player only has limited continues and few lives. The story of the first set happens in 1996, while the rest of the stages happen in 2032. The action follow a simplified plot of the movie with the same name. For unlocking new levels, the player has to find and rescue hostages in the two overhead view stages in the game.

There are several types of weapons in the game. Handguns, basic rifle, rapid fire machine gun, hand grenades and others are all available for use. There are more ways from which the player can lose a life. He can be shot several times, thrown off the train, frozen by Simon Phoenix's cryogenic gun or falling into a pit of lava.

The 3DO version of the game has three difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard. Most of the levels are first person like, but there are also some which are similar to Doom. The fighting looks very similar to the stages in Mortal Kombat, viewed from a 2D side perspective. A driving section is also featured at the end of the game. The graphics of the 3DO game are really good, thanks to the level of detail. The advanced 3DO sound engine makes the most out of the soundtrack.

The game was really popular back in the 90s, mainly thanks to the fact that it was created after a popular movie. The 3DO game was offered a 7.8 review from the critics, and a 6.8 review by the users on GameSpot. The version for Genesis was rated with 8.0 by the critics and 7.4 by the users.
