"Demolition Man" is a rapid-paced platform video game published for Sega CD, drawing inspiration from its eponymous 1993 movie. The plot showcases a dystopian Los Angeles of 1996 and revolves around John Spartan, an audacious police official, pursuing his malevolent antagonist, Simon Phoenix. After unintentionally causing civilian casualties in the process, both characters face cryostasis rehabilitation sentences, intending to undergo brainwashing for thirty years. This potentiates a sequel of events leading to Phoenix initiating a crime wave upon wakeup, causing Spartan to resume the hunt. Fast-paced and thrill-packed, the gameplay offers shooting and platform sequences with an overhead view on certain levels, somewhat similar to Smash TV. Gamers, playing as Spartan, primarily engage in incessant combat with "cryocons," with weapon enhancements available to bolster arsenal capabilities. The overarching narrative aligns closely with the movie story, with each level culminating in a boss battle with Phoenix.

Demolition Man is a fast-paced platform game, with some levels taking place in an overhead perspective (similar to Smash TV). As John Spartan, the player will spend most of his time shooting endless waves of "cryocons" released upon the antiseptic world of the future. The standard weapon can be upgraded with a shotgun and magnum, both with limited ammo. Additionally, various types of grenades can be collected, which are thrown independently of the firearm. Simon Phoenix appears as a boss character at the end of every level that is directly tied in with the movie.
