Most people never made it past LE RINGS but eventually you get to have a lot of fun fighting baddies, blowing around tornadoes, throwing cars around, etc.

It wasn't that bad, especially if you just rented it for one week. It wasn't broken or malicious. It was just boring.

I bet you guys didn't know that this game was based on a Superman cartoon from the 90s

The greatest game ever made

I loved the Superman cartoon (and still do), so when I saw the commercials for this game, I wanted to play it, so I rented it and it greatly disappointed me. What a piece of shit

Why was this game a common rental back then? Even back in the day, it was considered one of the worst games of all time

This old classic and Quest 64. But it wasn't all bad, we did have a good laugh about how retarded these games actually we're.

This is burned into my memory as the worst game I've ever rented.

I asked for Episode 1 Racer for my birthday. This is what my parents got.

Why was it so bad? Were they drunk?

This. It's talked about much but my friend had it after release and we legit were trying to beat it. He played it more than me and as a adult he later went on to be imprisoned for attempted statutory rape. Makes you think. That could've been me

"I have no idea why people would rather pay 20-40$ per game instead of 60-70$ per n64 cartridge"

>hmm super man? I bet I could fly around that should be awesome!

meme aside
i legit bought this.

It was the first game i bought for myself with money i earned. Before that my sis chose all games
I never even cared for superman before, but i thought flying around with his powers would be fun. I was so excited too. Got dropped off at the mall, went to a store (called Babbages or EB Games; i forget but one name bought the other at some point)
got home, so stoked, popped it in, and played about 20 min
Flying was awkward and slow. You go thru rings in the sky. I figured it would start with a tutorial thing, but after a bit i realized that was the game.
A hot wave of guilt and anxiety hit my chest. I realized in an instant moment that it was a bad game, and that it was too boring to continue, and that i wasted my money. It was so expensive and took me a long time to earn that cash doing things. Coulda spent it elsewhere for something better.. Felt awful.
Brought it back the next day and just cuz i opened it, i could only sell it back for like $5 or something.. I did, feeling a small bit of relief that i didnt eat the whole cost and that i was finally rid of that cursed object..

According to Titus, consumer feedback obtained in the form of a mail-in registration was "overwhelming positive," and "More than 70% of Superman's target audience, that of 6 to 11-year-olds, rated the game as an 'A' title."

Share your deepest, darkest vidya secrets /vr/.

I actually liked Superman 64 when I was a kid. I even rented it more then once but could never get past this level;

After that I was like, "Fuck it." and all was well.
