Mr. Mephisto was a video game originally developed and published for the Commodore 64 (C64) by Euro-byte.

The game consisted of a number of levels through which the player had to navigate to collect rings and then make it safely to an exit. A team of demons attempted to block the player's path. Contact with a demon resulted in instant death, and one or more scrolling staircases further hampered the player's progress.

Following success in the C64 market, Euro-byte commissioned a port of the game to the BBC Micro. However, no source code was available as the game had been coded in 6502 assembler directly into the C64's monitor program. The code was re-written from scratch. Eurobyte subsequently commissioned a version for the Acorn Electron, but this was never released.
