Lethal Weapon adapts the Richard Donner film series on Ocean NES with Riggs and Murtaugh leading police investigations in Los Angeles. The representation chains platform and fixed pattern combat with various weapons in an action film license formula. Honest for NES license fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Ocean catalog.

Collector interest

Lethal Weapon in its European PAL form is one of Ocean's latest and scarcest NES releases, in 1992 as the 8-bit market faded in Europe. The extremely small PAL run explains a value far above all other Ocean tie-ins, with complete copies reaching several thousand euros. Its rarity comes not from the game's weak quality but from the tiny volume sold at the console's end of life across European territory.
