Summary
The NES side‑scroller Lethal Weapon drops you into the gritty streets of Los Angeles, letting you pick either the hot‑headed Riggs or the seasoned Murtaugh as your avatar. You’ll punch, fire, and lob grenades at waves of thugs, but the game’s toughest lesson is that a well‑timed jab often outshines a spray of bullets. Its difficulty curve is notorious—players frequently find themselves stuck on a single screen, cursing the unforgiving enemy patterns. Despite the frustration, the title shines with surprisingly vivid 1992‑era graphics and a soundtrack composed by Neil Baldwin that adds a punchy, cinematic feel to each level. It’s a love‑letter to the film series that rewards persistence and a good sense of timing.
Storyline
In the NES version of Lethal Weapon, you play as either Martin Riggs or Roger Murtaugh, patrolling the streets of Los Angeles to take down a wave of criminals. The first mission has you rescuing their friend Leo Getz, followed by a tense bomb‑defusal inside a crowded shopping mall. Next, you disrupt a dockside smuggling ring before moving on to stop a terrorist plot aimed at blowing up the city’s sewer system. The climax pits you against Jack Travis, the primary antagonist from Lethal Weapon 3, bringing the action to a final showdown.
