3	A 1995 game by Creator/{{Sega}} for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis in which the player assumes the role of a scientist named [[NameOfCain Dr. Daniel Caine]]. After he discovers a plot by his employers called “Operation OMEGA” to [[PoisonAndCureGambit release a deadly plague onto the world and make millions of dollars from the antidote]], they capture him. They inject toxic waste directly into his veins, causing him to dissolve into a green ooze which sinks down the drain. He wakes up as a sentient puddle of glowing green ooze with a human head in the middle and an extendable arm. Understandably angry, Dr. Caine seeks revenge against his employers and plans to stop them before they release the plague.

8	!! This game contains examples of:
9	* AndIMustScream: The game over screen has you trapped forever inside a lava lamp. Considering that you're a sentient puddle and can not die through natural causes...[[spoiler: The bad ending also has shades of this, with you unable to turn back into a human.]]
10	* AssholeVictim: Most of the enemies in the game, who are working for that monstrous boss behind this insidious plan!
11	* BlobMonster: Only this time, the blob monster is the good guy. [[spoiler: There is also another blob monster during the fight with the Directorate.]]
12	* BodyHorror: Caine himself, as well as some of the monsters he fights.
13	* CastFromHP: Your projectile attack uses up a small piece of your body with each shot.
14	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The Directorate. He and his thugs want nothing more than to see you dead.
15	* CreepyGood: The [[ProtagonistTitle titular]] BlobMonster is the hero of the story, and yet the game plays up his scariness for all its worth.
16	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Collecting all 50 DNA helices gives Caine back his human shape...with a sexy six-pack.]]
17	* EnergyBeings: The fourth boss in the level Power Core is a living being of electrical energy that can shoot out balls of lightning. You'll need to destroy the generators to weaken it, and believe you me, it's not going to be easy.
18	* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Another BlobMonster fights alongside Directorate in the FinalBoss battle.]]
19	* GoneHorriblyWrong: The enemies in the Genetics Lab.
20	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Dr. Caine when he discovers Operation OMEGA.
21	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Directorate. [[spoiler:When faced off against Dr. Caine in the final battle, the Directorate chooses to inject himself with the same toxic waste he had injected into Dr. Caine. Dr. Caine soundly beats him, and the Directorate is left stuck in his own ooze form trapped inside a lava lamp. The same lava lamp Dr. Caine gets trapped in for a Game Over.]]
22	* KillerRabbit: There are ten secret areas in which you have to kill a bunch of experimental rabbits. [[TimedMission You have to finish them in a certain amount of time]], otherwise, you won't be able to get the DNA helix in these levels.
23	* MalevolentMaskedMen: The Directorate's goons wear Hazmat suits and helmets.
24	* MultipleEndings: Although they're not that much different from each other.
25	* {{Mutants}}: You'll encounter many of these throughout the game.
26	* NameOfCain: Averted. The protagonist is named Daniel ''Caine'', but he's a good guy, albeit a UnscrupulousHero.
27	* ObstacleExposition: There are a number of obstacles throughout the game. Poles that can help you get around hazards, security switches that open doors, defense mechanisms, and so much more.
28	* OneHitPointWonder: If anything hits your head even once, you're donezos.
29	* PollutedWasteland: The first two levels, Toxic Dump and Waste Plant, are areas surrounded by pools of hazardous waste.
30	* SecretLevel: There are secret areas hidden within the game. It may take you some time to memorize their locations and how to get to them, but once you do, it shouldn't be too difficult.
31	* ShockAndAwe: The fourth boss in the level Power Core is made of electrical energy, and has the ability to shoot lightning.
32	* ToxicInc: The Plague Factory. The stronghold of Dr. Caine's former colleagues.
33	* UnscrupulousHero: Dr. Caine after being turned into The Ooze may be fighting to prevent a worldwide epidemic, but he's driven primarily by revenge and his maniacal laughter visible in his punching animation show that he's getting a lot of enjoyment out of remorselessly killing his former colleagues.
34	* VacuumMouth: Some of the machines you encounter can suck you up if they run over you.
35	* WeaksauceWeakness: Your body disperses easily, and you can die by being sucked into drains or rolling downhill into a body of liquid.
