Deadly Games was an American sci fi show that appeared on UPN. The basic plot of the show is about video game characters that come to life re-enacting their deadly plans in real life. The video game characters are based on people from the programmer's, Gus, real life. The final boss of the game is Jackal, which is a combination of both the devil and Gus' father.
Each week, the hero of the video game, "The Kid" has to stop one of the bosses from doing something heinously outrageous, ranging from electrocuting Supreme Court justices to dropping a nuclear warhead on a football field. Gus must play the role of "The Kid" because the video game characters came to life after Gus's avatar had died to Killshot in the game.
Some notable actors and actresses appeared on the show. They include Christopher Lloyd, Brent Spiner, and Shirley Jones. Reruns can be seen on the SciFi network.
