Darkman

Similar to the movie of the same name, Darkman used to be a scientist exploring applications of a new synthetic skin useful for fire victims.

The investigation was interrupted when a gang of mobsters entered his lab looking for a document, killing his assistant in the middle and leaving him seriously injured.

At the same time, the scientist used a new surgical treatment that granted him immunity to pain, superhuman strength, but in exchange for intense impulses of anger and adrenaline.

Thus, swearing vengeance against the gang of mobsters with a bandage covering his burned face in the criminal attack, Darkman was born.

The game is a side-scrolling platformer at times, in which the main character must advance through the levels using masks of their victims, attacking enemies, and jumping obstacles.

The masks are obtained in the photography mode, where the game changes to a first-person perspective and the user must photograph the criminal to copy his face.

These mini-games of photographs are vital for the resolution of the platform levels since the duration of the mask in the next level will depend on the quality of the photos that the player takes.

Darkman for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €35.14 loose, €185.73 complete in box, and €594.05 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Darkman has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Darkman, loose is €35.14 and CIB is €185.73 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
