And the heroes-you choose from three-are of the steely, unstoppable type that reigned under Reagan. The subway trains are sprayed with graffiti and crammed with fashion-conscious gangs, like the ones in The Warriors.
Your car, alas, does not hover it’s sharp and wedge-shaped, like the DeLorean in Back to the Future.
The skyline features the fire-belching stacks of Blade Runner. If, however, you like your decay flavoured with the cult films of the seventies and eighties, then might I suggest Huntdown, a new side-scrolling shooter from developer Easy Trigger Games. And for history buffs, there are alternative visions of the past-Europe repurposed by the Reich, say, or Victorian London overwhelmed with werewolves. The tech-obsessed may prefer the futuristic metropolis, available in stark, spotless white or dirty rain-grey. Then, of course, the leafy variety, in which nature has begun the slow task of weeding out the remnants of humanity. You have the underwater city, sealed against the pressures of the outside world and rusting from within. When it comes to video game dystopias, there is a wide selection available.
