Awesome is a science fiction action computer game released by Psygnosis for the Amiga and Atari ST in 1990. It features a variety of gameplay styles, from overhead shooting to Asteroids-esque sequences, and a pre-rendered ray-traced intro sequence. The antagonist of the game is John Winner.
The theme music for Awesome was composed by Tim Wright. The box art for Awesome was painted by science fiction artist John Harris.
Graphics and music from the game were featured in Psygnosis's later game Lemmings as in-jokes, in a Taxing rated level called "What an AWESOME Level". These references were supported by cameo versions of the title music, arranged by the composer Tim Wright.
