Deadly Games

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 first episode introduces the protagonist Gus, an engineer, who has created a video game in his spare time to exert his indignant feelings about people in his life who have treated him unfairly (his father, his ex-wife's mother, a high school football playing bully, etc.). In an accident involving his experimental laboratory project, Gus's video game comes to 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.
