Item Description

The big idea is right there in the name. Power up the low-gravity suit and your hero can leap nearly two full screens straight up, turning ordinary platform stages into vertical playgrounds where you are as likely to come at enemies from above as head-on. Low G Man: The Low Gravity Man, developed by KID and published by Taxan in 1990, is a sci-fi action game with far more ideas than its quiet reputation suggests.

The combat loop is unusual for the NES. Your gun is built to freeze enemies in place rather than destroy them, and it is the spear that finishes the job, so every encounter becomes a quick two-step of stun, close in and strike. Even better, you can commandeer the enemy's own machines. Vehicles can be captured and ridden, including a spider walker that crawls along ceilings, and enemy weapons can be caught and powered up for your own use. It gives the stages a playful, improvisational feel, since the best route through a section often depends on what you have taken from the opposition along the way.

The mission is classic 8-bit science fiction: aliens have seized a robot-producing exploration planet and are reprogramming its machines to wipe out humanity, and Low G Man is sent to take it back. KID built in passwords and unlimited continues, plus additional quests beyond the first run, so the challenge is stiff without being cruel and there is more game on the cartridge than a single sitting reveals.

It never had the marketing muscle of the era's headline releases, which is exactly what makes it such a satisfying discovery now. Among the crowd of NES run-and-guns, the sky-high jumps, vehicle hijacking and freeze-then-stab rhythm give it an identity entirely its own, and once that rhythm clicks it is hard to put down.
