Midnight Resistance (ミッドナイトレジスタンス, Middonaito Rejisutansu) is a side-scrolling run and gun game produced by Data East and released in arcades in 1989. Midnight Resistance is set in a dystopian future where the player controls a member of a resistance movement who goes on a mission to rescue his kidnapped family from a drug kingpin.

It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 as Data East's first video game for the console.[1] The game was also adapted by Ocean Software to home computers.
