}}'''Eight Man''' (エイトマン, Eitoman) or '''8 Man''' (8マン) is a 1991 linear side-scrolling beat 'em up released by [[SNK]] for the [[Neo Geo]]. It is a video game adaption of the manga series with the [[wikipedia:8 Man|same name]]. The story and setting in the game largely remains true to series as Eight Man fight robots, cyborgs, zombies, and other futuristic machinery -although it doesn't feature any of the series's villains.

==Gameplay==
The game uses three of the four default buttons of the Neo-Geo. A is used for a basic punch, B is used for jumping and C is used for specials (or bomb attack). Pressing A and B together releases a spinning kick and holding down and B allows players to slide; movement is mostly limited to left or right. The first player plays as 8 Man while second player uses his crime fighting partner, 9 Man.

There is a total of four stages to play though and each stage is divided into segments to lengthen gameplay. At times, the game includes simple platform jumping. The game's unique level, a scene where Eight Man is constantly running at high speeds down a highway, is interwoven throughout the game.

==Bosses==
* '''Super Robot 005''' (aka Five Man) - An android that underwent the same experiment as Eight Man. Taller and more muscular version of the hero who fights with a similar bomb attack.
* '''Hurry Scuary''' - Formerly a scientist who implanted his brain in a large green battleship. Projects an image of his human self on a monitor around the ship's hull.
* '''Kozuma''' - A human cyborg with a half-metallic appearance. Attacks with lightening bolts.
* '''Cyborg''' - A large robot that nearly finished its construction. Players have to destroy its floating head.
* '''Spectre''' - The last boss of the game, it has no official name. Skeletal and floating remnant of Cyborg's soul that escapes after his head explodes. Can attack with twin lanterns and a swirling fireball attack.
