This video game had a major role in the NO MORE HEROES series. It was a sidescrolling beat ’em up game developed by HAZRE Inc. and released in 1986. It used the ONIREAL ENGINE. The plot centered around invaders from the planet Death, who terrorized Earth and printed humans’ “scores” on their arms, and Deathman, the hero who set out to stop them. Deathman eliminated the 10 most powerful invaders including their leader General Death, and then revealed his identity after the climax. Travis Touchdown remembered DEATHMAN fondly from his childhood, but noted that none of his classmates had ever played it. He also failed to remember the identity of the title character.
Strangely, commercials for the game noted that it was trademarked by not only HAZRE but also Deathman himself.
A remastered version of the game was released shortly before FU‘s real invasion of Earth took place.
