Based on the [[Film/DemolitionMan film of the same name]], Creator/SylvesterStallone and Wesley Snipes reprised their roles as John Spartan and Simon Phoenix for the game's custom callouts, along with quotes from the film.
8
9	This game was known for its emphasis on multiballs, which recreates the major fights between Spartan and Phoenix throughout the film. Its main features include the pivoting Cryo-Claw, used to select a mode or an award, and the two pistol-grip handles, which control the Claw, the flippers, and the plunger, as well as rewarding hidden bonuses with certain button combinations. Activate the five Cryo-Claw modes, wage battle across the Fortress, the Museum of Violence, the Wasteland, and the Cryo-Prison, then build up all seven Jackpots for the explosive finale.

12	!!''Demolition Man'' demonstrates the following tropes:
13
14	* CarFu: The two toy cars on the playfield, which act as captive balls -- hit the one in the rear to propel it at the other and score a Car Crash.
15	* ClusterFBomb: The profanity [=ROMs=], which until recently, was unavailable to the public.
16	* {{Combos}}: A big part of this game, as making a lit major shot will cause the game to light whatever subsequent shot can be made from after it, and a skilled player can keep stringing lit shots for larger combos. A random Computer Award is available after every ten Combo shots.
17	* EyeScream: One of the captive balls is an eyeball, which awards the Retina Value.
18	* HotPursuit: Car Chase mode.
19	* LosingHorns: During the match sequence, after Simon says, "Wonder if I can play the accordion, too?", an accordion plays at the end if none of the digits match.
20	* MatchSequence: Four monitors rotate, with possible numbers shown on each display, and the monitor with the matching number stops rotating.
21	* MindScrew: The introduction to "Demolition Time", in which the display goes haywire, and finally displays the mode's instructions.
22	* SarcasmMode: Said by Phoenix in the introduction of "Capture Simon":
23	-->'''Spartan''': You and me, Phoenix.
24	-->'''Phoenix''': Oh, I'm ''so'' scared!
25	* SkillShot: After plunging the ball, shoot the ball up the right side ramp for five million points and to increase the combo value.
26	* SpellingBonus: Spell M-T-L to increase the bonus multiplier and light the Cryo-Claw.
27	%%* StuffBlowingUp
28	* WizardMode: Two of them:
29	** Demolition Time, which is reached after getting all Cryo-Claw awards. It's a five-ball multiball where all shots are worth 15 million points, and the Explode targets increase the value by 5 million points. Hitting all the Explode targets adds another ball into play.
