"Osman" (known in Japan as "Cannon Dancer") is an arcade game produced by Japanese developer Mitchell Corporation in 1996. It is a side-scrolling platform game.

tory

It is the late 21st century, and the world has come under the control of a single federal government. One day a new threat known as a "Slaver" appears, causing widespread terror and panic. The fear in men's hearts incites the abandonment of all economic activity. The federal government, which is the foundation of capitalism and modern civilization, has become nothing less than an insidious idea that corrupts the foundations of society itself. It destroys the idiosyncracies and variations between national viewpoints, stifling them in the name of "freedom" and its own internal ideals.

Judicial Affairs Director Jack Reysson alone grasps the situation, fearing the worst. He summons the lone assassin who had mastered the 'secret style'...

Gameplay

"Osman" is very similar to Capcom's "Strider" – which is not surprising, since both were designed by Isuke. Because of that, "Osman" is regarded by many gamers as "Striders spiritual sequel.

It also has a level of graphic violence notably beyond "Strider".
