LETHAL ENFORCERS II: GUNFIGHTERS
(SEGA GENESIS)
Based on the Konami coin-op game, Lethal Enforcers II transports the light gun action of the original Lethal Enforcers to the Old West, an apt setting for such a title. Armed, via the Sega Justifier, with a standard handgun and the ability to upgrade to a rifle, cannon, Gatling gun, double rig (two pistols), .50 caliber Sharp’s rifle, and shotgun by shooting on-screen icons, you try to kill outlaws while avoiding innocents. You can also shoot enemy projectiles and such environmental objects as barrels, windows, signs, and lamps. Multi-scene stages to battle through include The Bank Robbery, Stagecoach Holdup, Saloon Showdown, The Train Robbery, and The Hideout, each ending with a boss. A pair of between- level bonus rounds lets you take pot shots at whiskey bottles and engage in a quick-draw contest. Konami’s arcade original is more colorful, and the voice effects are grating, but this is a super fun game. The Sega CD version released the same year has digitized sound.
YOSHI'S SAFARI (SUPER NINTENDO)
As Mario rides his dinosaur buddy Yoshi around twisting, turning tracks, you aim the Super Scope 6 light rifle at the screen, shooting Flying Goombas, Koopa Para Troopas, Cheep Cheeps, Bowser, and other enemies, including bosses that wear armor and fire at you. Shooting large gates unlocks secrets and hidden areas. If Yoshi gets hit by friendly fire, he loses health, turns arounds, and gives you a dirty look. In two-player co-op, the second gamer uses a standard controller to guide Yoshi, who can duck, jump over gaps, slow down (he moves forward automatically), and turn right and left. Your ultimate goal is to retrieve 12 crystals in order to save the Kingdom from those evil Koopalings. The pseudo 3D graphics are impressive, as are the scaling and Mode 7 effects, but the game is short and easy to beat. Luckily, finishing the game unlocks a mode with different colors and harder bosses. Recommended for kids and hardcore Yoshi fans.
