Electro Man, originally distributed in Poland under the title Electro Body, is a MS-DOS platform game developed by the Polish company xLand Games. It was originally released in Poland by xLand in 1992, and later published by Epic MegaGames in the United States in 1993; apart from the changed title, the Electro Man release contains some changes, such as upgraded graphics. Though initially offered under a shareware license, the game was released as freeware by the developer on June 25, 2006. The player controls a cyborg named "Jacek", who must get through all the areas of a space base while destroying enemies.
Electro Body was successful in Poland. It is considered to be the first truly "professional" Polish computer game released on the PC platform and has been described as a "cult" game.
In 2014, a limited collector's edition of the game was released for its 22nd anniversary by IQ Publishing; this edition came with a soundtrack and a numbered certificate.
The plot of Electro Man takes place in the future. Jacek's family is killed by aliens in an attack on a human-populated space base. Eager for revenge, he returns to the conquered base as a cyborg equipped with advanced weaponry in order to reclaim the facility from the invaders.
Chorus:
I am electro man, man, man, man,
You are electro girl, girl, girl, girl.
Electricity! Come on!
Electricity! Come on!
In the darkness we light up the sky,
I'm talking party,
So the darkness can die!
There's no opponents, can't temperate she and I
We're just a part of one of those secrets societies.
Oh, oh, tell me baby, baby can you... electricity!
I can really tell you what you really wanna be,
Come get me!
Oh, oh, take my hand!
... do you know who I am?
Chorus:
I am electro man, man, man, man!
You are electro girl, girl, girl, girl!
Electricity! Come on!
Electricity! Come on!
In the daylight, we wait for the night!
... stay away from the fight!
I'll make you blood drained
Count it girl, I'll suck you dry,
If... something to chase you,
No you cannot die!
Oh, oh! Aha, aha!
Turn around, break it down, check it now!
It's going down!
Chorus: (x2)
I am electro man, man, man, man!
You are electro girl, girl, girl, girl!
Electricity! Come on!
