[[File:mhazard2.jpg|frame|[[Retroactive Legacy|Matt Hazard's 1983 debut.]]]]

 

The year is 1983, and the world is first introduced to Matt Hazard, eight-bit video game hero with more firepower than pixels, through debut title ''The Adventures of Matt in Hazard Land'', published by then-fledgling company Marathon Software. In the following years, Matt starred in dozens of games; some were immensely popular (such as western ''A Fistful of Hazard'', 3D shooter ''Matt Hazard 3D'', and 1995 spy shooter ''You Only Live 1,317 Times''), while taking the series in new directions (such as the ill-conceived [[Go-Karting with Bowser|kart racer]] ''Haz-Matt Karts'' and the non-violent water gun game ''Soak'Em'') was... bad, causing people to stop buying the games and hence putting Hazard out of a job.

* [[Combat Commentator]]: Matt comments on his current health, switching weapons, and even that you just earned an achievement.

** "Don't hit me. Don't hit me!" can be heard while doing the cover switch feature sometimes during a gunfight.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Wellesley is the CEO of the company and wants revenge because he always sucked at the Matt Hazard games.
