Disposable Hero is an Amiga original game developed by Euphoria and published by Gremlin Graphics in 1993 for the Amiga and 1994 for Amiga CD32.
The game is sci-fi horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up with a graphics heavily inspired to R-Type and a great soundtrack. There are 5 levels, each one ending with a final boss.
Update: There was a problem with the music - now it's fixed! Download it again if you had this problem.
Disposable Hero was probably my very favourite shoot-em-up on the Amiga (with Apidya a close second). This game had everything; excellent graphics - only lacking parallax scrolling - good sound, great design and brilliant gameplay. Taking a leaf out of Menace's book, a solid SHMUP where your puny ship doesn't die with a single hit. The energy bar is a huge plus, as is the fact you even come back armed as before. In level one, you even encounter the huge ship as depicted on the box art (surely a first?!). D-Hero did feel like it took influence from all the classics like R-Type and X-Out and forged that into something fresh and consistently good throughout.
