ESWAT: City Under Siege, despite what the Japanese title might lead you to believe, is not a port of Sega's RoboCop-ajacent 1989 arcade game Cyber Police ESWAT, but rather a full fledged sequel, taking that game's Shinobi-esque gameplay and adding more vertically oriented level design and a really really fast jetpack on top of it. That don't unfortunately mean you don't get to fight a gorilla on the Genesis, though.

Round Select

After beating the game once, press Start on the Start/Options screen to begin a new game and quickly hold A + B + C + Down until the menu appears.

Regional Differences

To do: Rip the voice samples. More regional differences.

The international version, which was given the subtitle City Under Siege likely as an attempt to differentiate it from the arcade game, features some changes.

• Both instances of the SEGA logo (the logo screen and the smaller version on the title screen) had their trademark symbols removed. The "ENHANCED SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS" on the title screen was replaced with the aforementioned new subtitle.
• For whatever reason, two of the game's four voice samples were removed from the international version: VOICE3 ("Threat has been neutralised"), used when beating the final mission, and VOICE4 "Them the brakes(?)", used when beating a mission with your power armor on. The international version instead only plays VOICE2 ("Mission complete"), used when beating a mission without power armor in the Japanese version, for these situations.
• The game now gives you 3 continues, as opposed to the Japanese version which doesn't give you any!
• Destroying the destructible shutters in Mission 5 causes new ones to rise down in the Japanese version, making it very tricky to get past them. This no longer happens in the international version; the shutters stay permanently destroyed.
