Blood Money is a 1989 side-scrolling shooter video game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis. It was released for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS in 1989, and for the Commodore 64 in 1990. The game is set in four different locations on a planet, where the player must fight off enemies and bosses.
The game began development immediately after Menace, and borrowed similar gameplay elements. The development team used advanced hardware to develop Blood Money, using improved graphical and technological processes. The game was inspired by the presentation of Mr. Heli, and the animations of Blood Money would later inspire the development of Lemmings. The game was released to positive reviews; praise was given to the game's graphics and gameplay. The game was commercially successful, selling over 40,000 copies.
