Astro Boy: Omega Factor, known as Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom: Atom Heart no Himitsu (ASTRO BOY・鉄腕アトム -アトムハートの秘密-) in Japan, is an action game developed by Treasure and Hitmaker and published by Sega for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Although the game was obviously prompted by the 2003 Astro Boy anime series, it is based more upon the original manga. Sega released another Astro Boy game the following year for the PlayStation 2, titled Astro Boy.
