What are the best comic related /vr/ games?

I collect comics(I have thousands) and I collect /vr/ (not thousands) but I never combined the two(I don't collect toys or statues or any of that shit) but I'd like to combine the two.

>My faves/I own:
-X-Men (mega drive)
-pic related
-Maximum Carnage (SNES)
-Revenge of the Joker
-Life and Death of Superman(SNES)

Just to stir up the thread I'd like movie adapts(e.g. Judge Dredd) and cartoon adapts(e.g. TMNT) All I ask is that it was a comic first.

I'd prefer console OG or ports but a lot of great stuff never got ported so ROMs are welcome.

Most fighting games that had Marvel characters in them were at least okay
The Uncanny X-Men for NES was... well, it tried, and some parts of it were great while others were awful. It's worth giving a play, at least.

This is high on my list of things I need, below bourbon and just edging out food. Current gen players go nuts for the Arkham games, and they're good and all, but I'd love to see a solid platformer like this get made again. Something that isn't all about getting to the next cut scene.

Data East released a couple of good beat'em ups like Captain America and the Avengers and Spider-Man.

The latter was kind of interesting to me because I also could choose Hawkeye and Namor in that game. Kind of odd choices for playable characters but nonetheless a neat experience.

you hit the nail on the head bro. back when I was a kid I never cared who was making a game. sure, in high school i had vague ideas of what developers were good and who made what, but there were rarely any developer personalities to overshadow the actual game. these days, I guess because we're older and like to analyze the absolute fuck out of everything, we tend to get distracted with the who and why instead of just having fun. we try to make videogames more akin to cinema and literature, we try to be critics when we're certainly not. i don't know who's right and who's wrong

All the good indie platformers I can think of right now (Shovel Knight, Volgarr the Viking, Guacamelee and La Mulana) arent artsy and pretentious, in fact, they look like they are trying to make games that would have been successful decades ago on retro consoles.

Batman Returns on SNES
X-Men 2 on Genesis
The Punisher arcade game
And the Marvel vs Capcom games would be my picks

As a kid I played this game once a year when my parents took me on vacations to a city which had the Asterix arcade beat em up, loved it but dont know If I liked it because I was a kid or because it was truly great.

There's nothing wrong with holding vidya to higher standards. The thing is, with a film critic worth his/her salt, that person will analyze the film itself. Not to say that works exist in a vacuum, but the main component is the final product.

SNES version of Adamantium Rage was dookie, and I say that as a fan of Nintendo.

Genesis version was MUCH cooler.

As a side, something like this could never exist today. Two games that appear to be the same thing for two different consoles, yet are WILDLY different. All of the levels, graphics, story and music are completely different from each other. Which is weird since something like Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist are both ports of the Arcade game with different titles.

Anyone have any other examples of this?

Actually yes, I know 2 of them and one is thread related: The first is "The Adventures of Batman & Robin", it is 2 different games for the SNES and Genesis. The other is Alladin, same situation and only kinda thread related.

Beavis & Butthead was also like that, and the MD version was so much better (adventure game with action/platform elements, multiple items and weapons to use, keeps the dirty humour of the show, and has rocking music + sound effects).

SNES version was an incredibly basic vanilla platformer.

The bande dessinee games were incredible lucky in general. Most of them were at leas decent and only Asterix got really horrible games, but also the best. Like Contre Cesar on the GBC? Utterly unplayable. The soundtrack is good though.
Les Tuniques Bleues probably got the best game, North & South. Most people don't even know it's a license game. Infogrames even remade it with the Asterix license as Asterix or Asterix: The Gallic Wars on PC/PS1. Fantastic soundtrack.
The games Sega made for the Master System are really good, among the best of the system. Konami's beat'em up is good. It's a shame we didn't get more or at least a console port.
Asterix on NES is good, decent on GB. Asterix & Obelix is decent on SNES, good on GB. Fantastic soundtrack in all games.
Then there was Asterix: The Search of Idefix which was pretty awesome. Amazing graphics and animations. Just a really good game.

The Tintin games are decent, but hard and not that great. But it also depends on version. The Mega Drive version is shit, but on Game Boy and SNES it's decent.
Spirou got the same treatment. Decent games that were very hard. At least it's on of the best looking games on the MD. But, but let's not forget that one game that was actually good: Spirou: The Robot Invasion on the GBC. That's a good one.
It's sad the Marsupilami only got one game and then that had to be bad.

Lucky Luke got cool games. Kinda slower paced run'n'guns on GB/C, SNES and PS1. Definitely fun to play. Also an shooting galllery game on PC/PS1. Can recommend.

The Smurfs got a lot of decent platformers on nearly ever system. SMS, NES; SGG, GB, GBC, SNES, MCD and even in 2.5D on PS1. Fantastic soundtracks in every 8-bit version since they were composed by Alberto Gonzalez. The Mega CD game also sounds good and looks suprisingly colorful for a MCD game.

So yeah.
