The game's plot is loosely based on the film of the same name. In this side-scrolling platformer, the player controls Darkman, a superhero who can jump, kick and punch, as well as swing from a rope during action sequences between levels. In each level, Darkman disguises himself as the boss of the level, whom he must defeat before the time limit elapses.

Storyline

Peyton Westlake was left for dead... DARKMAN now lives. Now you take on the role of Darkman - master the technology of his disguising system - enter the gang of mobster Robert G. Durant and conquer them from within. Live through all the high spots of the movie - the breathtaking helicopter flight sequence - the skyscraper shoot-out - dice with death as you are plunged, swinging into the heaving freeway traffic. DARKMAN lives... but not for long?!
