Lethal Enforcers
Debut: 1992
Developed by Konami, Lethal Enforcers was introduced to arcades in 1992. The graphics for the game were quite unique, as they relied entirely on digitized photographs and sprites. It was a massive success, ranking in the top five highest-grossing arcade games of 1993 in the United States. The real problem with the game was the decision to use photorealistic people. As players must shoot those people in the game, thereby sort of simulating real-life gun violence. In spite of this, Lethal Enforcers was so successful, that various sequels came out. Of course, most ended up on home consoles. Yet for its time, Lethal Enforcers was one of the best arcade games out there. As it was a huge hit everywhere it was installed.
