Vatman is an arcade beat-em-up game released in 1989 by Dennis Publishing. The game was created by Simon Hobbs.
Designed for a single player on the ZX Spectrum 48K, the game features a final boss battle. Players can use Kempston or Interface 2 joysticks, or define their own custom keyboard controls.
The game gained popularity in Russia and the former Soviet Union. It was widely distributed on diskettes with several TR-DOS adaptations available from groups like KSA and Triumph'00, while cracked cassette versions were released by teams such as RAF and Dream Soft. Players often relied on cheat codes and POKE values shared in various magazines to progress through the game.
