Lethal Weapon

About

Lethal Weapon is a side-scrolling platformer adapting the 1987 action film. You control either Riggs or Murtaugh as they jump, shoot, and punch through levels filled with enemies and traps. The Commodore 64 version streamlines the original game’s design with redesigned stages and limited character options. Each level requires precise timing to avoid hazards while progressing through increasingly chaotic scenarios. The game distinguishes itself by translating the movie’s fast-paced action into a retro format. While graphics and sound are typical of early 90s C64 titles, the challenge lies in its strict level layouts and technical limitations. Fans of the film might appreciate the direct references, but the lack of modern updates or multiplayer makes it a niche choice for those exploring classic ports.
