When the game begins, the player's rank is Detective, and after each stage the player will be promoted, provided they have not killed any innocents. The ranks are: Patrolman, Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain and Commander. There are different ranks that the player can attain, depending on how well the player performs. The game ends when all life units are gone, but continuous play is available. Every time the player is shot or an innocent person or officer is shot, one life unit will be lost. Life units are also awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game. In the arcade version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. In case of the console versions, if a controller is used, the player only needs to press a specific button to reload.Īt the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. To reload, the player must aim their lightgun away from the screen and pull the trigger. The player's gun can carry up to 6 bullets. Bosses often shoot projectiles at the player. At the end of each stage, there is a boss that must be defeated in order to complete the assignment. One shot is usually enough to kill most enemies, announcing their appearance with 'You missed me!', 'You can't shoot me!', 'You can't kill me', 'You can't kill me, copper!' 'Eat Lead!' and 'Eat Lead Copper!'. The innocents often warn the player of their presence with a plea of 'Don't Shoot!', 'Don't shoot me!', 'Don't Shoot! They're crazy!', 'No!', 'Help Me!' or 'I don't wanna die.' If the player does hit one of them, the computer will issue an admonishment, 'What are you doing?!' with an incredulous, rebuking tone, and forcing a life loss, but no removal of any special weapons. During each stage, the player must shoot the armed criminals without harming any innocent bystanders or fellow officers. Lethal Enforcers has five stages or 'assignments': 'The Bank Robbery', 'Chinatown Assault' ('Downtown Assault' in Super Nintendo), 'The Hijackers', 'The Drug Dealers' ('The Gunrunners' in Super Nintendo), and 'The Chemical Plant'.
