The story of Time Cop follows Jack Slade, an elite lawman from a dystopian future. After being cryogenically frozen and thawed out in 1995, he finds himself on the run from his own government and must fight to stop a powerful corporation that threatens humanity.
As Jack Slade, players control him through fast-paced action sequences and platforming challenges. The gameplay is centered around combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration, with an emphasis on time manipulation mechanics. Players can rewind time, slow down or speed up the clock, and even see glimpses of their past to uncover clues and overcome obstacles.
Time Cop was developed by Beam Software and published by Midway Games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1995. The game received mixed reviews at the time of its release but has since become a cult classic among retro gaming enthusiasts.
