Beverly Hills Cop

Take Eddie Murphy’s swagger, remove the charm, add some DOS chiptunes, and you get Beverly Hills Cop—a game adaptation that asks: “What if being a wisecracking detective meant stiff animations and random driving segments?” It’s a mash-up of shooting, driving, and wondering what just happened, loosely held together by the idea that you’re a cop doing... something in Beverly Hills. The game never quite nails the movie’s humor or energy, but it does offer the joy of 1990s police work rendered in glorious EGA. Think of it as a tribute band that’s missing half its instruments.
