Lethal Weapon 3
Data East · 1992 · at 2 UK venues.
Lethal Weapon 3 brings Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh to Data East pinball, turning the film’s police action into a collection of shootouts, investigations and high-speed sequences.
The game uses the film’s characters and weapons as physical features, with ramps and targets representing the various challenges faced by the detectives. Its rules are relatively straightforward compared with later machines, making it easy to get into.
The real challenge is surviving the fast, unpredictable playfield. Stay focused on the investigation; panic shooting is exactly how you end up in trouble.
