DARKMAN  >lives... but not for long?! > -- <cite>Game Box</cite> ***Darkman*** was developed by Twilight and published by Ocean Software  in 1991. It was released for the ZX Spectrum, NES, Amstrad CPC and  Commodore 64. It was also ported to the Game Boy and Atari ST. The  game's plot is loosely based on the film of the same name. In this side-scrolling platformer, the player controls Darkman, a  superhero who can jump, kick and punch, as well as swing from a rope  during action sequences between levels. In each level, Darkman  disguises himself as the boss of the level, whom he must defeat before  the time limit elapses. Tying into the plot of the film, Darkman  wears masks of various gangsters who are responsible for his  disfigurement, but his disguise dissolves after being exposed to  sunlight for too long. The character changes into a different member  of the evil gang in each level, taking on their attack moves as well  as their face. In-between levels, Darkman must photograph his quarry before he can  make a mask of them. These scenes involve moving the cursor to take a picture of the gangster. The better the photo accuracy, the more time  Darkman is granted to complete the subsequent level. The final level  is the most faithful to the film, and takes place on a skyscraper  under construction. After the player defeats their mirror image five  times and wipes out the mob cartel that scarred Darkman, the final  boss is inexplicably a clone of Darkman himself. The Spectrum version was well received critically, with CRASH magazine  awarding 82%, Your Sinclair gave 85% and Sinclair User 78%.
