Superman 64: Worst Game Ever? (The Rings)

Superman 64: Worst Game Ever? (The Rings)

You have to check out these “Let's Play” videos of probably the work game ever.

The game was based on the character models of the amazingly cool Superman: The Animated Series.   They even used some of the same voice actors for the game, considering it is a cart-based N64 game.  That being said, this game has to be worst game I’ve seen since that Alf game I bought years ago. 

The glitches are so bad that the actively tries to defeat you when you play on the real mission (via inside buildings). At one point in the “Let's Play video”, during the boss battle the main boss falls through the floor and you can't defeat her. You have to reset your game. Plus, there are numerous times when you can walk through walls and into voids with water. Why is the area within the level surrounded by water?

Why would they put so many rings in the game?

Playstation Superman?

After watching the Let’s Play videos, Proton Jon revealed that there was Playstation version of the game that was almost ready for release.  Blue Sky and Titus worked on a PS1 version.  Titus lost the license and the game was scrapped. Check out the full coverage here from Playstation Museum.

It seems the PS version of the game ended up being better than the dreaded N64 version. 

Yes, that was running on PS1 hardware.  Man, this might have washed the bad taste of Superman 64 out of the gamers’ collective mouths.
