Darkman platformer adapted from Sam Raimi's film with short stages and dark presentation. Stiff animations and dated level design. Anecdotal despite the cult license.

Collector interest

The USA Darkman from Ocean owes its scarcity to the nature of the licence itself: Sam Raimi's film holds cult status but had modest reach, and the Game Boy port shipped in limited numbers in 1991. The high loose value near 100 EUR reflects a chronic shortage of copies rather than any ludic merit. A target for collectors of genre-film tie-ins and elusive Ocean cartridges.
