Enforce
Enforce is an action arcade game developed by Taito Corporation and released in 1988. The player controls a police officer who must apprehend criminals across multiple levels. The game features side-scrolling action gameplay where the player fights enemies using punches and kicks, with the ability to pick up weapons and power-ups scattered throughout each stage. Controls are responsive, allowing directional movement and attack buttons. The level structure progresses through different urban environments, each presenting increasingly difficult enemy encounters. The objective is to defeat all enemies on screen to advance to the next level.
