Lethal Weapon

About

Lethal Weapon lets you take control of two LAPD officers in a series of action-packed missions. Choose between Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh to tackle scenarios like stopping drug traffickers at docks or defusing bombs in crowded malls. The gameplay mixes shooting, platforming, and stealth elements as you navigate levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and timed objectives. Each mission requires careful movement and resource management since health and ammo are limited. The final bonus level adds a twist by introducing a new target without prior story context. This 1992 title earned a cult following for its fast-paced design and variety. Community reviews highlight the tight controls and challenging level layouts despite dated 16-bit graphics. The Amiga and Atari ST versions share nearly identical gameplay but differ in audio quality due to hardware limitations. Players often note the missions shift between gunfights, parkour-like jumps, and puzzle-solving, though some criticize repetitive enemy types. With five distinct scenarios and character-specific abilities, it holds a 72% on the Atari ST at GameRankings. Short but punchy, it’s a relic of early ’90s action game experimentation.
