Lethal-Enforcers

You know, with all this talk about the Nintendo Switch I kind of lost myself in all the excitement. Now you have to ask yourself one question punk: Did I fire five shots, or 317? Because the game I’m thinking about today was pretty much a Dirty Harry in all but name. I had way too much fun at the arcades playing Lethal Enforcers, a game that was very much welcome during the crime-heavy days of PE.

The setup was as simple as you’d get for games that featured a Light-gun accessory: Kill everything on the screen and ask questions later. But having just watched the Dirty Harry movies as a kid (essential viewing according to my dear old dad), the idea of holding a .357 plastic Magnum in my hand and blasting drug lords away was just too much fun.

It got ported eventually over onto the SNES, Genesis and Sega CD, but nothing beats the original arcade version of Lethal Enforcers. NOTHING.

    Actually the gun in Dirty Harry was a Smith & Wesson 29 .44 Remington Magnum, a notorious calibre that kicks like a mule and the biggest handgun calibre on Earth at that time before the .50AE was developed
