/vr/ - Retro Games

not really a fan of superheroes in general but i had fun with the xxxx vs yyyy fighters at a local arcade

Spider-Man for the PS1/N64/Dreamcast is pretty good.

Batman NES
Batman Returns
Captain America and the Avengers

The last is probably the most overlooked. It's a legit game.

Do Japanese superheroes count?

>>957164
Not really. It's better than most superhero games, but it's still not very good.

This was far from a great game but it still was pretty fun.

>>957232
And the N64 version is even worse.

I've only somewhat recently learned of this game's existence - it was released rather late in the SNES's lifespan. Has anyone played it?

>>957253
A minute of google says it's meh at worst and alright at best. Apparently has a somewhat elaborate combo system.

>>957253
It was terrible actually, and quite frustrating to play.

Capcom's X-men game turned out to be much better. I love how you have to reunite the characters at the beggining by playing a stage for each of 'em.

>>957272
I just remember this game being really hard. That or I was really fucking terrible at it.
The genesis x-men games were also okay.

This game is amazing. Avoid the Genesis version for the shitty sound tho

>>957253
I remember renting it around the time I played Marvel Super Heroes in the arcade. I was sorely disappointed.

Game of my childhood. I swear, everyone and their brother has played this game.

>>957285

I love the first genesis game, but rarely get past Apocalypse. Dude rapes me every time

>>957209
Is it a game or an interactive movie?

Played this fucker so much as a kid.

Never got anywhere.

>>957456

Actually, it was the Amazing spider Man 2 that had me held up. Dat same song over and over the entire game.

Batman had the best games over the years. Same goes for other media, shit isn't fair. All I want is a good Silver Surfer game.

Batman on nes and Batman Returns on snes are both really fun games.

>>957568
Sunsoft at their finest.

>>957165
I had that game as kid. Never finished it. I remember the vs. mode being a blast though.

>>957645
They almost gave us an actual good Superman game too.

>>957645
sunsoft was so fucking awesome, and those tunes are some of the best on the nes.

>>957658
I hadn't tried that one before, but it looked cool from the videos I saw.

It makes me sad that no one ever talks about this game. It was (at least from what I remember) fucking awesome.

that X-Men arcade game was so good my friends and I actually all teamed up to beat it one day shit we had to take turns since there was more than 6 of us

>>957676
The show wasn't bad at all, either.

>>957165
>Captain America and the Avengers

Which one? The NES is rather overlooked and pretty good although it's very redundant with "artificial length" due to having to replay several stages if one of your character dies

which batman returns too?
Batman Returns on NES is a whole different game than on SNES. Obviously the SNES one is the best but the NES one is pretty good too even though it gets really hard starting stage 2! I just wish both games had co-op

>>957435

Use Nightcrawler, and just sit in teleport mode. He'll swing, miss, get hit, and you can just sit while the cycle repeats.

I feel the first Spider-Man game for Genesis didn't get enough love. The way they incorporated the fact that Spidey's gotta pay the bills by taking pictures was amusing.

Speaking of Spider-Man, what about the Spidey and friends arcade game that had you play as Spidey, Namor, Hawkeye and Black Cat? Now THERE was an eclectic cast(maybe not Cat, but the other two...)!

>>957658
What a shame this one never got released, it's awesome.

What about that Spider-Man game on the Sega CD?

I really dig Batman on the Genesis. Strangely it didn't come out til over 2 years after the film was released.

>>958527
Wish I knew how to hack, I'd turn 'Sunman' back into Superman. Supes needs at least one good game.

Steve Meretzky's most underrated game.

Superhero Text Adventure?
Yep. Superhero Text Adventure.

>>958604
One of the most underrated soundtracks ever. That game had some bomb-ass music.

>>957253
It's basically Mutant Apocalypse if they used the Avengers instead and also didn't give a good god damn. Maybe I just suck at it, but I'm good at Mutant Apocalypse, and War for the Gems feels really awkward and hard for all the wrong reasons. Half of the enemies are just palette swaps. Some common enemies are palette swaps of characters you use in the game. Pic related.

>>960203
Derp.

Most of my favorites have been mentioned. I've had this since I was like five and never beat more than a level or two. Is it worth playing further? Also, is it balls hard, or do I just suck?

>>960213
Balls hard. I remember beating it ONCE, and then never wanting to play it ever again.

>>960213
I owned that game, its just stupid hard. Mainly because of how the levels are made.

>>960213
man this game is ridiculous. I've never found the end to any of the levels after the first.

>>960213
>THAT GAME

Couldn't ever beat a level after the tutorial one. I beat Spidey's first non-tutorial level once or twice, and got to the boss for Wolverine's first level, but besides that, I never have beat a level.

>>957136

Batman Returns on Super Nintendo was one hell of a beat 'em up. I grew to be crazy difficult late in the game, but the early stages are still incredibly fun. I love smashing the clowns through the windows and fences in the backgrounds.

>>960213

I played this game while taking college level Anatomy & Physiology II. It was more difficult and even more boring.

Batman Returns for SMS is a nice action game.
