Prison City

Prison City is a side-scrolling shooter set in Detroit in 1997. The city was evacuated in 1995 and turned into an impenetrable mega-prison; now an evil group has infiltrated and taken control. Former cop Hal Bruzer returns from retirement at the request of his mentor, “The Chief,” to fight the Techno-Terrorists and their Wardens and try to restore Detroit’s spirit.
