Based off of the Jean Claude Van Damme film Timecop, this game acts as a sequel of sorts. We learned well from the film that the power time travel affords corrupts all men weaker than the Muscles from Brussels, and this has extended to the original inventor of time travel. He proclaims himself dictator of the universe, captures Van Damme as he arrives from fixing all the wrongs in the film, and challenges him to a "duel across time." Platforming action follows across multiple periods of history.
The primary feature of this game is its digitized characters, uncommon for console games of that era. Actors were taped in front of a bluescreen and stills were taken from the video to create all characters and their animations. The effect is impressive for Super Famicom , though it does result in robotic enemies who do not respond well to being punched or kicked. The "timing," both in terms of controlling your character and fighting with enemy characters seems off through the entire game.
There are 15 levels in total, most of which are standard fighting platform levels. Three basic fighting moves are available to the character, not including jumping and crouching kicks, and not including the use of a gun with extremely limited ammo. Some vehicle levels are mixed in, and the game culminates in a jetpack duel over Los Angeles with the villainous time travel creator fellow.
The game also featured some rare use of digital voice, primarily in the "FBI... Get on it!" background theme in the first few levels.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game, players assume the role of Max Walker, a Time Enforcement Commission agent who must thwart the time-traveling inventor Hans Kleindast's plot for world domination. To stop Kleindast's dark alternate reality, players travel through various historical eras—including 1929 Wall Street, 1944 Germany, and a futuristic 2117 Los Angeles—to battle armed guards, robots, and historical anomalies. Ultimately, players must navigate these diverse time periods to recover stolen treasures, dismantle Kleindast's operations, and defeat the villain in a final high-flying duel.
Story
The Story So Far
After stopping the evil Senator Aaron McComb, Max Walker is living peacefully with his wife, Melissa, and their son, Tom. While helping Tom with his homework, Walker notices a strange photo in the boy's schoolbook with Hans Kleindast—the inventor of time travel—standing next to Albert Einstein in 1944!
Thoughtfully closing the book, Max looks around and notices the appliances in his home feature a new logo: HKE: Hans Kleindast Electronics Inc. Walker leaps into his automatic car and orders the onboard computer to take him to the Time Enforcement Commission.
However, the vehicle—another HKE product—takes him elsewhere... He is helplessly strapped in and whisked away. Armed guards finally seize him and haul him off to see Kleindast.
"I staged my demise in the prototype," Kleindast tells Walker. "But I'm not a greedy man. Because you did so well pursuing McComb, I have selected you to be the prey in my first 'Manhunt through Time'."
Kleindast explains that he has modified some givens in human history and created a number of alternatives to reality. Throwing Walker a time-control bracelet, he says, "Let the time duel begin!" The guards seize Walker, and he is thrust into a time pod set for a collision course with destiny!
Washington, D.C., T.E.C. Headquarters—2005
Blast back into the present—and Kleindast's dark alternate reality! Once you get past the security guard, you've gained access to the classified area of T.E.C. HQ. Keep the remaining goons down and you can discover Kleindast's secret plan for world domination!
San Andreas Break, Under the Ocean—1945
Kleindast plans to harvest a fortune in the ocean! Rare underwater metals are necessary for perfecting revolutionary new electronic components. To fight off Kleindast's army (and octopi!) you must use your feet and your trusty pistol. Use your shots wisely... it's sink or swim! Twice bitten and your underwater adventure is all washed up.
New York City, Wall Street—1929
Kleindast has the mob in his back pocket, they're everywhere, and they're after Walker. Drive-by shootings are nothing new in this version of 1929—one in which Kleindast tries to control the stock market as well! Not willing to give up, Kleindast sends his robotic double after Walker, chasing him into a warehouse.
Lake Dortmund, Germany—1944
Kleindast has a master plan to horde the German's gem and art treasures until benefiting from their peak value in 2005! Your mission is to recover the two trucks loaded with the treasure and hand them over to the arriving Allied troops.
Los Angeles Brainblast Factory—2117
Walker gets blasted to the only place he can stop Kleindast: his Brainblast production line shortly before it goes on the market. There's a wave of robots to battle before you find your way to Kleindast's inner sanctum. Save your energy for the final battle: you and Kleindast in a jet pack duel high above the L.A. skyline.
