Beverly Hills Cop is a game developed by Tynesoft and released in 1990, with a story loosely based on the first film from the Beverly Hills Cop series. The player takes control of Axel Foley, the main character of the series. There are four distinct sub games including a side-scrolling action game, a driving game, an overhead view shooter and a first person shooter. The game was released on Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Atari ST, and PC. The BBC version only contains the driving game.[1]

Blast Entertainment released a Beverly Hills Cop game in Europe for the PlayStation 2 in 2006,[2] which was heavily panned by fans of the movie.

Reception

Abandonware website Abandonia's Sebatianos reviewed Beverly Hills Cop with "All in all the game is OK, but the animation is far from smooth. You’ll have problems reading the text, because it will shake too much and the animation (especially on level one) is very choppy."[3]
