I failed to pick the harder difficulty level, and the game cut off without letting me play the final few levels. So that's that. I do not want to play through a 2nd time, perhaps I will revisit this one later in life.

Demolition Man on Sega CD: A Retro Review
The Sega CD, an ambitious add-on to the Sega Genesis, sought to revolutionize the gaming industry with its CD-ROM capabilities in the early 90s. Among its library was a game that now stands as a time capsule of that era's cinematic aspirations and technological advancements: "Demolition Man." This game, based on the eponymous sci-fi action film starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, was an attempt to meld the bombast of Hollywood with the interactive world of gaming.
Developer and Production
Virgin Interactive Entertainment, a developer renowned for its adaptations of Disney films into critically acclaimed video games, was behind "Demolition Man." Known for their attention to detail and dedication to quality, Virgin Interactive aimed to capture the essence of the film and translate it into an experience that was both authentic and enjoyable.
Graphics and Music: Immersive and Atmospheric
The Sega CD version of "Demolition Man" was a spectacle of its time, with graphics that pushed the envelope of what was expected from home console games. The digitized actors from the film, including Stallone and Snipes themselves, were superimposed onto detailed 2D environments, creating a look that was strikingly similar to the movie. The graphics showcased the power of the Sega CD and provided an experience that felt closer to the movies than ever before.
The music was another high point. The Sega CD's ability to play high-fidelity audio tracks meant that the game could feature a soundtrack that rivaled the quality of what one would hear in cinemas. The score was intense and atmospheric, perfectly complementing the game's fast-paced action and cinematic cutscenes.
