The Lawnmower Man is an action video game based on the movie of the same name. The game features a mixture of pseudo-3D first person virtual reality segments, and 2D platform-shooting-based segments. This version of the game was released for the Sega Mega Drive, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, with a different game being released for the Sega Mega-CD and IBM PC computers.

Curiously this game was originally announced as The Lawnmower Man II, many years before the film sequel was released. The number was eventually dropped.

A Sega port of sequel called Cyberwar was announced but never materialised.

Gameplay

The game is a side-scrolling shooting platform where players take control of either Dr. Angelo or Carla Parkette. The game also has Virtual Reality sections, which are entered by portals on the platform sections. The purpose of the game is to successfully maneuver through a series of obstacles and reach the exit.
