Play Lethal Enforcers Online

Lethal Enforcers came to the Sega Genesis in 1992, a Konami release that brought the arcade light gun experience home. It was one of those games that stood out in the Genesis library, not just for its subject matter but for how it tried to replicate the feel of the cabinet. You could use the Justifier light gun if you had one, but even with a controller, it had a distinct presence among the platformers and beat 'em ups of the era.

You play as a police officer moving through static screens, aiming at criminals who pop out from behind cars, windows, and other scenery. The main objective is straightforward: shoot the armed suspects before they shoot you, and avoid hitting civilians or fellow officers. Key mechanics include rapid target acquisition, reloading by shooting off-screen, and a health system where one hit ends your life. The pacing is relentless, with little room for error, and the difficulty spikes quickly. It feels tense and unforgiving, demanding sharp reflexes and a steady aim just to survive a few stages.
