Superman 64 gave ET a run for it's money For the love of me I couldn't figure out how to make it past all the entry levels that amounted to "fly through 25 hoops or you die!" and then "fly through 25 more hoops or they die!" all while looking like an alpha game environment still under active development.

Superman 64 is far worse, IMO. It's just plain bad in every way. Unoriginal, badly coded, unfun, looks like butt. The only good thing about it I can think of is one of the GDQs did a public speedrun of it a few years back that was pretty funny. It was in the "Bad Games Block" of course.

I have a friend who had an N64 and his only game was Superman 64. Like that was nearly the only game he ever played on the system, I think he played GoldenEye years later with some friends. And that was the only system he had until he bought a Wii as an adult. When he told me this I assumed he was joking but he never really used the internet and had no idea how reviled the game was. He thought the game was OK, and didn't think it was that hard. Somehow still became an avid gamer too.

  Why didn't he buy more games???

    He had no money, and his mother refused to buy any.

    Kid locked alone in basement all summer with just an N64 and one cursed game is basically a creepypasta writing prompt come to life ;) I'm playing SNES / Sega Genesis era Death and Return of the Superman by Sunsoft / Blizzard and it's a wildly amusing punch scroller with heat vision, sonic boom and Man of Tomorrow Cyborg Superman boss!

If you ever watch a play-through it just keeps getting worse. People always talk about the rings but thats barely scratching the surface of the shitty, broken depths.

I remember being hyped about it, having only seen some pre-release screenshots in magazine or something. Luckily, being 14, I couldn’t afford to buy it. I rented it from Blockbuster and felt cheated.
