THE MOST MESSED-UP MOMENTS FROM 14 YEARS OF SUPERHERO VIDEO GAMES - AWESOMELY NERDY NITPICKS!

If you're a superhero fan who loves video games, you've experienced firsthand how pretty much every title out there - good or bad, remembered or forgotten - does something that's absolutely, unapologetically WRONG! with its source material. This ebook documents the most egregious - and most hilarious - offenders from the moment Superman flew onto the Atari 2600 in 1978 all the way through 1992, when Konami's classic X-Men sucked in quarter after quarter in arcades.

NEARLY 80 SUPERHERO GAMES

Some you've played. Some you haven't. And quite a few you never even knew existed in the first place. Some high-/lowlights:

• Purple Dark Knight vs. Green Joker in Batman: The Video Game (NES)

• Proven instances of "slapping a license" on an already-developed game

• Games that stripped Wolverine and He-Man of their most iconic weaponry

• A questionable transportation method for the Man of Steel in Superman (NES)

• A Transformers game from the creator of Pitfall!

• The strangest comic book license ever to hit the Sega Genesis

• The most unnecessary tie-in to a superhero animated series of all time

• The Danger Mouse Trilogy

• That one lonely Thundercats game

ANSWERS TO BURNING QUESTIONS YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW TO ASK

• Who is "the Princess Peach of superhero games"?

• Who was the first Marvel character to be featured in three games? And what's the single gaming appearance he's had since 1985?

• Which super-character is most consistently misrepresented in games?

• What common superhero gaming feature was pioneered by LJN's otherwise absolutely horrible X-Men NES game?

• Which hero's primary gaming nemesis is someone he still has yet to even meet in the comics?

• What do an NES game and a major restaurant chain agree is Wolverine's favorite food?

• Why is Carnage getting naked on my SNES?!
