''[[Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death]]'' was produced by [[Rebellion Developments]] and released in early 2003 by [[Sierra Entertainment]] for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], and [[GameCube]]. The game sees the return of the [[Dark Judges]] when [[Mega-City One]] becomes overrun with vampires and the undead. The player takes control of Judge Dredd, with the optional addition of another Human player in [[co-operative]] play. The game is a [[first-person shooter]] β with key differences such as the requirement to arrest lawbreakers, and an SJS death squad which will hunt down Dredd should the player kill too many civilians. The player can also go up against three friends in the various multiplayer modes which include "[[deathmatch (gaming)|Deathmatch]]", "[[Team Deathmatch]]", "Elimination", "Team Elimination", "Informant", "Judges Vs. Perps", "Runner" and more.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=specials&choice=dvdps2|title=BARNEY β prog zone|work=2000ad.org}}</ref> [[Dredd Vs Death|A novel]] was based on the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=specials&choice=dvdnovel|title=BARNEY β prog zone|work=2000ad.org}}</ref> A costume set for the [[PlayStation 3]] video game ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' was released in May 2009, which contained outfits to dress the game's main character Sackboy as five ''2000 AD'' characters, one of which is Judge Dredd.<ref>{{cite web|author=Owen Good|date=9 May 2009|title=Sackboy is the Law|url=http://kotaku.com/5246991/sackboy-is-the-law|work=[[Kotaku]]|publisher=[[Gawker Media]]}}</ref> Dredd's uniform is also used to create the [[Judge Anderson]] costume for the Sackpeople.

Their licence ended in 2016. In February 2017, [[EN World#EN Publishing|EN Publishing]] announced the new ''Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD Tabletop Adventure Game'' using the WOIN (''What's OLD is NEW'') role-playing game system. On 17 July 2012, Tin Man Games released a ''Judge Dredd''-themed digital role-playing [[gamebook]] titled ''Judge Dredd: Countdown Sector 106'', available for the iOS operating system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/judge-dredd-countdown-sector/id541692526?mt=8|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150903234536/https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/judge-dredd-countdown-sector/id541692526?mt=8|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 September 2015|title=Judge Dredd: Countdown Sector 106|work=App Store}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tinmangames.com.au/blog/?p=1725|title=Β» We're sober as a Judgeβ¦ honest guv'nor! ;)|work=tinmangames.com.au}}</ref> ====Board games==== [[Games Workshop]] produced a ''[[Judge Dredd (board game)|Judge Dredd]]'' [[board game]] based on the comic strip in 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1098/judge-dredd|title=Judge Dredd β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> In the game players, who represent judges, attempt to arrest perps that have committed crimes in different location in Mega City One. A key feature of the game is the different action cards that are collected during play; generally these cards are used when trying to arrest perps although some cards can also be played against other players to hinder their progress. The winner of the game is the judge who collected the most points arresting perps. Players could sabotage each other's arrest attempts. Additionally, there were many amusing card combinations such as arresting Judge Death for selling old comics, as the ''Old Comic Selling'' crime card featured a ''2000 AD'' cover with Judge Death on it. The game used characters, locations and artwork from the comic. It was re-released by Rebellion in 2022. In 1987, Games Workshop published a second Dredd-inspired board game, "[[Block Mania (board game)|Block Mania]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/330/block-mania|title=Block Mania β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> In this game for two players, players take on the role of rival neighboring blocks at war. This was a heavier game than the earlier Dredd board game, focused on tactical combat, in which players control these residents as they use whatever means they can to vandalize and destroy their opponent's block. Later the same year, Games Workshop released the [[Mega-Mania]] expansion for the game, allowing the game to be played by up to four players. [[Mongoose Publishing]] have released a miniatures skirmish game of gang warfare based in Mega-City One called "Gangs of Mega-City One",<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |title= Gangs of Mega-City One|publisher=2000adreview.co.uk | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325120110/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |date=25 March 2014 |archive-date= 25 March 2014}}</ref> often referred to as GOMC1. The game features judges being called in when a gang challenges another gang that is too tough to fight. A wide range of miniatures has been released including box sets for an Ape Gang and an Undercity Gang. A Robot Gang was also produced but was released as two blister packs instead of a box set. Only one rules expansion has been released, called "Death on the Streets". The expansion introduced many new rules including usage of the new gangs and the ability to bring Judge Dredd himself into a fight. This game went out of print shortly thereafter, but was replaced by the "Judge Dredd Miniatures Game", which was published free in many stages as the company sought feedback from fans and players. In 2012, an expansion was released called "Block War!". Miniatures continue to be manufactured at a slow pace. In November 2017, [[Osprey Publishing|Osprey Games]] announced their development of a new graphic adventure card game, entitled ''Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth''. The game is designed and based on ''The Lost Expedition'', a game from designer Peer Sylvester.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://therewillbe.games/articles-boardgame-reviews/6306-play-matt-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth-review|title=Play Matt: Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Review|last=Thrower|first=Matt|date=2019-01-21|website=There Will Be Games|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref> In the game, one to five players "[lead] a team of judges against dinosaurs, mutants, and the Cursed Earth itself".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204015340/http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 December 2017|title=Osprey Games announces Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth {{!}} Dice Tower News|last=Burbidge|first=Greg|website=www.dicetowernews.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref> It was released on 21 February 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240957/judge-dredd-cursed-earth|title=Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth|website=BoardGameGeek|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref> ====Collectible card game==== There was a short-lived [[collectible card game]] called simply "Dredd". In the game, players would control a squad of judges and arrest perps. The rules system was innovative and the game was well-received by fans and collectors alike, but various issues unrelated to the game's quality caused its early demise.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6417/dredd-the-collectible-card-game|title=Dredd: The Card Game β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> ====Pinball==== {{main|Judge Dredd (pinball)}} There was a four-player pinball game released in 1993, produced by [[Bally Manufacturing]].
