Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man is an action video game developed and published by Mattel Electronics for the Intellivision in 1983. The game is based on the popular animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Players control He-Man as he battles his arch-nemesis, Skeletor, through two distinct gameplay segments.
In the first segment, players pilot the Wind Raider, a flying vehicle, towards Castle Grayskull. The Wind Raider is equipped with bombs and guns to defend against fireballs and Skeletor’s attacks. The objective is to reach the castle before running out of fuel, while earning bonus points by hitting Skeletor.
Upon landing near Castle Grayskull, the second segment begins. He-Man must pursue Skeletor through the castle, blocking incoming lightning bolts with his shield. The goal is to catch Skeletor before time runs out. Successfully completing this task advances the game to a higher difficulty level.
The game features 2D scrolling graphics and supports a single-player mode. It was notable for being the first Intellivision game to display the “SuperGraphics” logo on its packaging. The game was also released for the Atari 2600 in the same year.
