Game Overview

Lethal Enforcers is that classic arcade shooter where you blast criminals as a cop, and it somehow feels just as intense on the Sega Genesis. You’ve got a split second to decide whether that guy popping out of a car window is holding a gun or a hostage—mess up, and you’re staring at a "Game Over" screen. The targeting range helps, but nothing prepares you for how fast things get when you crank up the difficulty.

What’s cool is you can play it solo or team up with a friend in co-op, which usually ends with both of you yelling at the screen. The arcade version lets you jump straight to your favorite stage if you’re impatient, but the home version’s real charm is using the light gun (if you’ve got one). Otherwise, the controller works, though it’s not quite the same as squeezing off virtual shots.

Just don’t expect deep storytelling—this is pure, chaotic trigger therapy from the ‘90s.
