Ocean Software's Lethal Weapon, whilst dropping the three, was published in conjunction with the second sequel, inspired by its themes and plot. We choose to play as Martin Riggs or Roger Murtaugh, though there's no simultaneous two-player option. Between the five levels, the LA cop buddies must infiltrate illegal drug facilities, apprehend suicidal terrorists, defuse a bomb in a busy shopping mall, sneak into an office complex to rescue hostage, Leo Getz, and finally, nab a dodgy former cop who has been making a bit of pocket money on the side by peddling armour-piercing bullets.

Mostly we play on foot, elsewhere swimming underwater surrounded by sharks! Without breaking any new ground in the weary genre, it's a solid enough 2D, scrolling, action-platformer with cute, endearing visuals and one of the most gormlessly-grinning, head-boppable title music compositions the Amiga has to offer. That's something to aspire to in case that wasn't clear.
