About This Machine

Lethal Weapon 3, released by Data East Pinball on June 3, 1992, is a licensed pinball adaptation of the action-movie franchise, designed by Joe Kaminkow and Ed Cebula, with artwork by Markus Rothkranz. It was one of many licensed movie titles Data East produced during this period, alongside games like RoboCop, Batman, Back to the Future, and Star Wars.

As a solid-state four-player machine, Lethal Weapon 3 uses the DataEast/Sega Version 3 MPU, with music and sound by Brian Schmidt, dot-matrix animation by Jack Liddon, and software by Kristina Donofrio and Lonnie D. Ropp. Voice characterizations were provided by Fred Young.

A total of 10,350 units were produced between June and October 1992, making it a relatively common find among Data East's early-1990s licensed titles and a solid example of the era's movie-tie-in pinball design.
