Lethal Justice
致命正义
Lethal Justice is a 1996 arcade action game developed by The Game Room, supporting up to two players simultaneously. Players take on the role of law enforcement officers fighting through waves of criminals across multiple stages. The gameplay involves moving through side-scrolling environments, using punches, kicks, and weapons to defeat enemies. Controls typically use a joystick paired with attack buttons, allowing players to execute basic combat moves and pick up items or weapons dropped by enemies. The two-player cooperative mode lets partners tackle stages together, coordinating attacks against tougher opponents and bosses encountered at the end of each level. The game progresses through distinct stages with increasing enemy density and difficulty, culminating in boss confrontations.
