The Lawnmower Man is an action game adapted from the 1992 sci-fi film of the same name. Developed by The Sales Curve and published by THQ in North America on November 1, 1993, it is available for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
The game's plot continues the film's storyline. Players take on the role of Dr. Lawrence Angelo or Carla Parkette, traveling between the real world and virtual reality to embark on a series of adventures. The game uses a side-scrolling format, requiring players to fight enemies in various scenes while collecting weapon upgrades and data discs. Once enough data discs are collected, the player's character will receive a virtual battle suit that provides extra protection.
One of the game's highlights is its unique 3D level connectors, which are based on the CG sequences from the film. Players must dodge obstacles at high speed and shoot in the virtual reality world. There are four distinct virtual reality levels: "Virtual World", "Cyber War", "Cyber Run", and "Cyber Tube", each with its own unique challenges and gameplay mechanics.
Overall, The Lawnmower Man attracted the attention of many players at the time with its innovative game design and faithful adaptation of the film's plot.
