Electrocop was there with the Lynx from its 1989 launch, developed by Epyx and published by Atari Corporation: the player controls a cybernetic officer who must fight through a hostile base, collecting keys and items while facing enemies and sector bosses in a top-down view. Along with California Games and Blue Lightning, it was one of the first showcases of what the handheld could deliver. Its level design, built around coded doors and sector-by-sector progression, leans closer to exploration-driven action than a simple corridor shooter, and it remains a solid representative of the system's launch lineup.
