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 North American edition shares Ocean's action-platformer but with a wider NTSC run than the PAL version, hence a markedly lower value. Released in 1992, it remains the most accessible way to represent this film license on NES. Desirability stays real given the console's late cycle, without reaching the heights of the European edition. A reasonable entry point for collectors wanting the adaptation without the extreme PAL scarcity.
