About this game

In Benefactor, you play as Ben E. Factor and journey across the six moons of Minniat to rescue the kidnapped people of Lullyat. The game combines platforming, puzzles, and strategic planning across 60 levels.

Rescued Merry Men each offer a different potential skill, making the order in which they are freed important for completing some levels. Grey-suited Merry Men must first be guided through a coloring machine. Hazards include slugs, Rock Men, and spiked teeth emerging from manholes.

A large map can be explored while the game is paused, helping you plan your route through the levels. Developed by Digital Illusions and published by Psygnosis, Benefactor was released in 1993 for Amiga and Amiga CD32.
