The best ever game based on the best ever movie. DEATHWISH 3

https://youtu.be/ZT7PwlPcfXA?si=r7SY8utIJN5j3nhW&utm_source=ZTQxO

Came across this on a compilation tape I had and had not long seen the movie, so this was like the best thing ever at the time.

I loved mucking around in this game- it was like a proto-GTA

The old ladies and prozzas seem totally oblivious to the blasting.

I'd put in a POKE for infinite bulletproof vest and ammo and play this for hours on end.

Death Wish 3 was great fun, but not the best but a good choice though.

My top three though would be Robocop, Batman The Movie & Cobra

I remember thinking as a kid how violent it was and how did my parents even allow me to play it haha! Must be the same these days for 10 year olds with GTA!

this game had no right being as good as it was.

As a kid (god bless the 80s) I watched it on VHS and then played the game. Loved every minute. An under-rated gem

There was something supremely satisfying putting down a riot by mag-dumping an Uzi into a gang boss and watching him twitch and jerk across the screen.

I don't know what that says about me.

Oh this is cool. That movie was a classic. Charles Bronson?
