One of Black Legend’s first successful games was a collaboration with the Hungarian studio I/O Product. The game was comically named Fatman: The Caped Consumer (1993) and was a ‚Euro-platformer‘, a standard ‚collect-em-up platformer‘ in which players play an original superhero: Fatman. This is the alias for Roy Fat, a mild-mannered inventor who loves his food. Most of his inventions revolve around food and his stomach. Perhaps his most remarkable invention is a food duplicator that can replicate any food. This invention made Roy Fat’s Restaurant famous worldwide. As soon as he squeezes himself into his superhero costume, he is known as Fatman, the terror of all slimming farms. The music was particularly convincing. The gameplay was okay to fun, and the whole thing was rather humorous.

Producer Richard M. Holmes had grown up in Switzerland and founded his game company Black Legend there. However, after some attempts with game developers in Switzerland, he moved to England, where he worked with distributor Kompart. Holmes looked around the Eastern European countries that recently ceased to be under Soviet control. There, he found what he was looking for in Croatia, Hungary, and Estonia. There was a burgeoning and untapped scene for computers like the Amiga, with a thriving demo scene and lots of potential. The working atmosphere was not so hectic. For the weird game concept of Fatman, he worked with the studio I/O Product in Hungary: Peter Mutschler, Zoltán Regös, and Balázs Szabó did the programming, Béla Klingl, Iván Sarosácz, Zoltán Ludas, and Sándor Szokol were responsible for graphics, and George Dragon did the music. There was a second enhanced edition of the game for the Amiga 1200, and a PC version in 1994.

The weird platformer was politically not correct and may appear somewhat juvenile, as some critics pointed out, but many players loved the fun gameplay and the humour. The game magazine Amiga Force (1994-02) says in its review: „To be fair, Fatman's an enjoyable game. However, it lacks the depth to be anything more than a couple of hours of fun. After that, the jokes begin to wear a bit thin (Ho, ho), while the playability isn't strong enough to overcome this. Good fun temporarily, but no more than that, I'm afraid.“
