Judge Dredd is a side-view action video game released for the Super NES, Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Gear, and Game Boy, originally in 1995. An MS-DOS version was published in 1996. The game is based on the 1995 film Judge Dredd, which was itself an adaptation of the Judge Dredd strip from 2000AD.

The game was released on Steam and ZOOM Platform as Judge Dredd 95 by Throwback Entertainment. It was delisted by its publisher on January 1, 2023, a move that was criticized by ZOOM Platform.

What the critics said

  • The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly criticized that the game's bosses are overly difficult, but generally approved of Judge Dredd for its large levels and selection of weapons, with one of their reviewers remarking that "What Judge Dredd lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in playability."

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly

  • Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed that the game "translates surprisingly well to the Game Boy", with most of the levels and graphical effects of the home versions, but that the Game Boy version also suffers from inferior sound quality.

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1995

  • GamePro's review of the Game Boy version criticized that Judge Dredd is overly similar to previous handheld action/adventure games and has so-so controls, but concluded, "Is Judge Dredd tough? Not guilty. Is it terrific? Not guilty. Is it worth playing? Guilty."

    — GamePro, 1995

  • Next Generation reviewed the Genesis version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "in the end, Judge Dredd is guilty of one thing, it's yet another side-scroller."

    — Next Generation, 1995· about another version

  • Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "while it's well animated and tightly designed, that still doesn't make Judge Dredd very interesting."

    — Next Generation, 1995· about another version
