Matt Hazard is the star of a number of popular action games from the 80’s all the way to sometime in 2000, as revealed on this handy fan page.

The series has unfortunately not really succeeded to the point of a Halo or a Grand Theft Auto, as the developers became increasingly out of touch with the needs of the gaming public, releasing such turkeys as ‘Haz-Matt Carts’ in 2000 and ‘Choking Hazard: Candy Gramm’ in 2002. Matt Hazard has become less and less relevant as time has gone by. So, in one last attempt to wring cash out of the Matt Hazard franchise, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is on the way.

All of this, however, is a complete fabrication as no such series of games has ever existed. Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard will indeed be the first game in the series, but based on gaming heritage that the developers have made up. Hopefully the effort pays off when it releases early next year. More screenshots below:
