Judge Dredd is a platform action game based on the British comic book character of the same name and the 1995 movie that was inspired by it. The game was released on various consoles, including the Super Nintendo, so it follows the standard formula of jump, shoot, duck. However, it adds some unique twists such as wounding enemies to make them surrender and can be arrested.
The initial levels follow Judge Dredd's plot from the movie, where he is framed and sent to the Aspen penal colony. From there, he must escape and prove his innocence. The game continues with levels and characters inspired by the comic book series, culminating in a battle against the Dark Judges on Deadworld.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Based on the classic sci-fi comic franchise, *Judge Dredd* is an action-adventure platformer set in the dystopian, crime-ridden metropolis of Mega-City One. Players control the legendary Judge Dredd, who must fight to clear his name after being framed for murder by his clone, Rico, while also battling mutant assassins, rioters, and rogue robots. Throughout the game, players navigate hazardous environments, arrest or sentence criminals, and complete specific primary and secondary objectives to restore order to the city.
Story
The Law
The few inhabitable areas left in America are sprawling metropolitan areas covering what used to be states. In between the three Mega-Cities lies the wasted radiation desert called the Cursed Earth, created during the Great Atomic War of 2070, where mutants spawn and retiring Judges go for The Long Walk...
A world where automation and robotics have made unemployment the rule, where caffeine dealers risk their lives to sell a quick jolt to restless, embittered citizens, and where mere littering can earn you jail time in an Iso-Cube.
Welcome to Mega-City One, home to 400 million citizens. Here up to 60,000 people exist in soulless self-contained city blocks that provide cradle-to Resyk "living", if the inhabitants aren't destroyed in the vicious intra-block rivalries that erupt into Block Wars.
Within the dreary confines of this enormous sprawl, order is no longer kept by a police force. In the year 2139 A.D., the seething citizens of the world are judged not by their peers, but by Judges, unforgiving, authoritarian keepers of the peace who believe in speedy justice. Justice is dispatched on the spot.
Judge Dredd™ finds himself on the wrong side of the law as unseen forces work to bring him down.

Escape and Rearm
Dredd realizes that it was Rico's DNA on the Lawgiver that killed Hammond! It's clear to him that he must get back to the city to prove his innocence.
•
Primary Objective: Rearm himself for what may follow.
•
Secondary Objective: Arrest or Sentence any perps who hinder him.
The Hall of Justice
He enters the Hall of Justice only to find that the Council of Judges have all been murdered—by Rico! His new mission is to find Rico's secret location by using the Central Terminal.
The Hall of Justice is secured by a series of doors that can only be opened with security cards. Each door requires a key card, which must be found and inserted in the right terminal.

Secondary Objective: Avoid or disarm any Judge Hunters in the Hall.
Locate Rico
Fully armed, Dredd must make his way to the Council Chamber to clear his name.

Enter the Janus Lab
When he discovers that Judge Dredd™ has gained access to the lab, Rico prematurely "hatches" the clone forms from their cloning tubes.

•
Primary Objective: Defeat Rico in a battle to the finish.
•
Secondary Objective: Find and destroy all the cloning tubes.
Invasion by Gila Munja
Mega-City One has been spared the threat of Rico and the Janus Project, but things never remain quiet for long. The Gila Munja, a band of mutant assassins, are lurking in the sewers below Mega-City One, hoping to get in.
Gila Munja are spinning tops of terror and are tough to sentence. Judge Dredd must also contend with the usual day-to-day dreck of Mega-City One: Looters, Squatters, Arsonists and the like.
•
Primary Objective: Locate and destroy all Gila Munja.
RC 4 Hostage Situation
Processing Radical Carbon 4, a highly toxic substance, isn't much fun. When the disgruntled workers at the RC4 Processing Center riot and take hostages, Dredd must deal with Blitz Agents and escaped Aspen convicts hoping to deal him some destruction.
•
Primary Objective: Locate and destroy all RC4 canisters before the city is contaminated.

Scoring
Judge Dredd™ earns differing amounts of points for different activities throughout the game, such as either Arresting or Sentencing a perpetrator, completing a level or destroying a boss, etc. His score appears at the top right of the screen. Note that for the highest score, Arresting someone is sometimes preferable to Sentencing them.
Vid Link / Com Link
Judge Dredd™ is able to communicate with Justice Central by means of a Com Link. Before each mission, a Video Phone communication informs Dredd of the mission's objectives.

Primary Objective: Locate and destroy all ammunition supplies in the area.

•
Secondary Objective: See that all perps still in the area are Arrested or Sentenced.
Shuttle Crash in Cursed Earth
As part of a secret plot, Judge Dredd™ is framed for the murder of a newsman named Hammond. Because tradition allows a retiring Chief Judge one final ruling, Chief Judge Fargo elects to retire in order to commute Dredd's sentence from death to life without parole in Aspen Penal Colony. When the shuttle transporting Dredd to prison is shot down by the crazed Angel Clan, Dredd manages to escape.
•
Primary Objective: Find Judge Fargo and seek his wisdom. Once he has done so, Dredd's primary objective will then be to find the Book of Law, which will help him prove his innocence.
•
Secondary Objective: Arrest or Sentence all perps in Cursed Earth.
Prepare for the Final Fight
Judge Dredd™ learned from Judge Fargo and the Book of Law that he is the genetic twin of ex-Judge Rico. Rico was sentenced to death, but was secretly spared by powerful allies and escaped from Aspen.
