ESWAT: City Under Siege is a Sega Mega Drive action game released for the console in 1990. It is a reimagining of the 1989 arcade game Cyber Police ESWAT. The Sega Master System version of ESWAT: Cyber Police calls itself ESWAT: City Under Siege on its title screen, but is unrelated to this Mega Drive game.
In the game the player, a police officer (named Duke Oda in Japanese versions), navigates through the crime-ridden Liberty City, shooting and capturing criminals. He is eventually accepted to the Police Department's top unit, E-SWAT (Enhanced Special Weapons and Tactics) and given a powered exoskeleton to fight against powerful crime bosses who threated the city. Ultimate goal of the game is to apprehend "Balzar" a mad scientist (Arcade and Master System), or destroy E.Y.E., a super computer (Mega Drive).
The city in which the game takes place is named "Liberty"
Gameplay
