The Sega Mega-CD version of The Lawnmower Man is an action game. The game takes place after the events of the film of the same name, where Jobe, having successfully escaped destruction and become the omnipotent CyberJobe, trapped Carla, Peter and Dr. Angelo in his virtual reality, torturing them in revenge for the way he was treated in the past. You play as Dr. Lawrence Angelo trying to escape. It was also released on IBM PCs.

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