ESWAT: City Under Siege is a
game for the Sega Genesis Video Game System released on June 1, 1990.

features different levels, weapons, and bonuses.
Description
All is not well in Cyber
City. Criminals are running amok - looting, pillaging and raping the
city of all its worth. Quite a lot of people aren't really too pleased
about the rampant activities of these heartless crooks, and this
includes Cyber City's mayor, who sets up the ESWAT (Enhanced Special
Weapons and Tactics) division of the Cyber Police to deal with the
evil, criminal menace.The player takes on the mantle of a hard-bitten
SWAT cop, who seems to be dealing with the criminal epidemic all on his
own, with only his trusty service pistol for company. In order to prove
to the powers-that-be that he's eligable to join the ESWAT elite, two
levels worth of eight-way scrolling platform blasting have to be
tackled - each with a very nasty end-of-level crime boss to be
exterminated.Then it's on to all the fun and excitement of donning the
specialised ESWAT armour and using all manner of extra weaponry to
blast these punks into oblivion!
The game is a sidescrolling
platformer where the player controls a police officer in the future who
over a series of levels turns into the cyborg ESWAT. As a member of the
Cyber Police force in the city of Liberty, your job is to clear the
streets of crime, terminate the most wanted criminals and put them
behind bars. In the first and second levels of the game, the player
could only utilize single shot weapon. After becoming ESWAT in the
third level, the player can use Super Shot, Plasma Rifle, Rockets, and
a Fire Attack. ESWAT also could use a jet pack with limited fuel that
replenished over time.
