After a 36-year cryogenic sleep, you awaken in the year 2032 to a city bursting at the seams full of crime and violence. You are John Spartan, a former Los Angeles Police Department officer whose mission is to seek and destroy Simon Phoenix, a renegade career criminal wanted for various crimes against humanity. The only problem is that Phoenix is out to kill you too, so you'll need eyes in the back of your head if you want to stay alive. Through 10 brutal levels, you'll utilize shotguns, handguns, and grenades as you search for Simon. Half of the action takes place outdoors and consists of side-scrolling gameplay, while the other five levels take you to indoor settings with a top-down perspective. You're the only man who can stop the maniacal Simon Phoenix from wreaking havoc in the future. Good luck!
