Lethal Weapon 3 is a pinball machine produced by Data East Pinball in 1992.[1] It is based on the movie of the same name, which was the most popular film in summer 1992. The game featured a Generation 3 FullView dot matrix display, which was larger than the current industry standard, and displayed digitized movie clips.[1] The game also featured a hidden leveling system, in which players "grab hold of the Data East gun handle and eliminate bad guys in one of three video crime simulator shoot outs".[1] By 1994, it was Data East's all-time most successful pinball machine.[2] The game was designed by Markus Rothkranz.[3]
