I remember picking up Darkman for the Game Boy back in 1991, a time when licensed games based on movies were common. This one was published by Ocean Software, and it fit right in with the platform's library of side scrolling action titles. You controlled Peyton Westlake, the scientist who becomes the scarred vigilante after a lab explosion, navigating a city overrun with criminals.

You move through levels screen by screen, punching and kicking thugs who pour in from both sides. The main goal is to hunt down the specific gang members responsible for your disfigurement. A key mechanic involves using different synthetic faces, which act as limited use disguises allowing you to pass certain enemies or access new areas. You also collect medical supplies to restore health, and the pacing is relentless; enemies respawn quickly, making progress a careful push forward. It feels like a constant, scrappy brawl against the city's underworld.
