Lethal Tender

Released in 1993, Lethal Tender combines platform action with a satirical storyline centered on greed, money, and determined heroes. Players jump through colorful levels while collecting cash, avoiding traps, and confronting enemies determined to guard their wealth. The responsive controls and lively presentation keep the action moving briskly, while the humorous premise adds personality to the adventure. It may not redefine the platform genre, but it certainly entertains throughout its energetic campaign. Few games encourage players to become wealthy quite so enthusiastically while simultaneously making every coin look suspiciously dangerous.
