Judge Dredd is a 1995 run-and-gun action game for the Game Boy, based on the sci-fi movie of the same name. Players take on the role of Mega-City One’s most feared law enforcer, navigating side-scrolling levels to complete primary and secondary objectives. Instead of a simple shootout, the game emphasizes tactical policing where you must arrest perps, destroy weapon crates, and clear out criminal elements across the dystopian city.
How to Play
The objective is to complete the assigned mission tasks for each stage while surviving enemy fire. The default Game Boy controls map the D-pad to movement, A to jump, B to shoot your Lawgiver, and Start to pause. In your browser, these are mapped to the arrow keys for movement, Z and X for the face buttons, and Enter to start.
Tips
- Arrest, don’t kill: You can arrest enemies by shooting them in the legs or waiting for them to run out of ammo and surrender. Arrests yield higher scores and better health recovery at the end of the level compared to outright eliminating them.
- Explore thoroughly: Many mission objectives, like hidden weapon caches or specific perps, are tucked away in alternative paths. Search each level completely before moving to the exit.
