They even list your weaponry in the manual as “ Scum Stomping Equipment”… If I weren’t mistaken, I’d say this game was developed by a group of hardass cops who would probably arrest you for throwing a cigarette out the window. They’re pretty spot on, yet they try to make it sound all ‘90s-ish and super cool. When you have credit, even if you lose all life, Continue is possible. When your life drops to zero, the game is over. Your rank will drop each time you hit an innocent bystander. It is important to work together to beat the enemy. When two people are playing together, both must fulfill the rank requirements to clear the stage. By shooting enemies and not hitting innocent people, you raise your hitting ratio and can raise your ranking. When you start the game, you start as Patrolman. Fire bullets at them and their projectiles: Hand grenades, knives, bazooka shells, etc.ĭo you think you can handle that, Rookie? About the whole “getting hit within a nanosecond before having time to react” thing… that just SCREAMS “ THIS IS AN ARCADE GAME AND I’M GOING TO SUCK THE QUARTERS RIGHT OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLE!”

issue is that they’ll pop up and point a gun at you and either shoot within a nanosecond (always making contact because you’re body is the width of a CRT TV apparently) or they’ll just freeze and do nothing for sometimes as much as 3 or 4 seconds. These bad guys hide behind dumpsters, cars, office chairs, office desks, and anywhere else they can hide. That’s some incredible mafia-like organization right there. I mean, these guys must be part of some sort of terrorist gang because 70% of them wear all-black and have ski-masks on while the other 30% have mustaches and/or mullets. It requires 1 or 2 players to use either a gun or a controller (2 guns or 2 controllers or a mixture of the 2) and to shoot bad guys who are holding people hostage and performing many other criminal misdeeds around the unnamed city. I’m assuming that’s where this genre title popped up. Lethal Enforcers is a shooting gallery game, much like when you go to the fair and play the shooting gallery booth where you shoot things that pop up.

Controversy aside, Lethal Enforcers was an arcade mainstay, but I don’t think it quite lived up to the in-home hype the way Konami or Sega had planned. The early ‘90s was a very interesting time in video gaming history as Tipper Gore led the hunt against minimizing the “ destruction of children’s minds with violent video games and explicit music.” Fuck her. And with the tangible Konami Justifier revolver pistol used to shoot at the screen, it’s no wonder this game caused wide controversy (even while it was in the arcade, not just at home). This was not like a violent cartoon like other games. The bad guys are transposed on top of a digitized still image, allowing players to shoot at realistic images of human beings in realistic settings. The graphics aren’t very detailed (and are actually quite bland). And there is virtually no other major differences to set the cartridge game apart from the disc game. The picture quality is moderately more advanced on the Sega CD than the Sega Genesis, but not by much. This was also followed by the arcade game Seigi No Hero, which was localized and renamed Lethal Enforcers 3 for Western audiences.Lethal Enforces made its way to the Sega Genesis and the Sega CD in 1993.

Years later, Konami released the Police 911 series as a Japan-themed sequel to the original plot. Both games would later be released in the two-in-one compilation Lethal Enforcers I & II (Lethal Enforcers Deluxe Pack in Japan) for PlayStation. Lethal Enforcers was followed by Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters. However, this caused controversy as it allowed players to take photorealistic depictions of enemies.

The game was a critical and commercial success, becoming one of the five highest-grossing dedicated arcade games of 1993 in the United States. Homemade versions were released for the Super NES, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and Sega CD over the next year and included a revolver-like light gun known as the Konami Justifier. The game's graphics consist entirely of digitized photographs and digitized sprites. Lethal Enforcers is a light weapon shooter released in 1992 for arcades by Konami.
