History VideoGame / Electroman

''Electro Man'' is a VGA sidescrolling [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer DOS]] computer game developed by xLand Games and published by Creator/EpicMegagames in 1993. It was initially released in Poland (and later Germany) without the involvement of Epic as "Electro Body" complete with some changed graphics and CGA, EGA and composite monitor display modes. Though initially offered under a shareware license, the game was released as freeware on June 25, 2006.

* SubliminalSeduction: The "Jesus is here!" sample (also used in Music/Front242's "Welcome to Paradise") when you reach the checkpoint is reversed in the re-release, but not in the original.

** It is possible in level 7 (though unlikely, [[UnwinnableByInsanity especially after you know it's there]]) to fall into a section with no exits and no way out except death.

Has nothing to do with a series of UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash games known as ''VideoGame/ElectricMan''.

* CheatCode: There are cheats for GodMode, suicide, level skip, collect all three circuit boards/disks, and select any of the five weapon power levels (or no power). However, Level 8 is still fairly difficult even when cheating, and there is no cheat to turn clipping off -- presumably because that would make the game too easy.

* DeadEndRoom: In order to get to the final part of Level 8, you have to make a perilous set of jumps across a deep pit. There are a pair of dart-spitters down there to kill you (and thus return you to your last checkpoint) if you fall in, but of course they don't help if you're in GodMode. This is probably why this game has a suicide cheat. Fortunately, you have infinite lives even without cheating.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Die and you keep your disks and return to your checkpoint. (Subverted in level 3, where you can miss your first disk, hit the marker in the 'b' hallway, and render the level {{Unwinnable}}, requiring you to start it over.)

The player controls "Jacek" the electro man (who is very similar, design wise, to ''RoboCop'') as he travels through eight levels, shooting enemies, using teleporters and upgrading his main weapon.

* {{Expy}}: Jacek strongly resembles ''RoboCop''.
