Well the game was a tech demo first anyway, and they severely underestimated the N64 when they made the game. Although i am not sure why you think a 5 is a good score, i never said the game was good, but if it was on the Playstation at least it would have been playable and presentable. Which for most Super man games never happened, I think there's only one that people actually consider above average and i think that was an 8-bit game.[QUOTE="Dj-Dampleaf"][QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]
There is no way EVER that flying through rings makes a good Superman game, no matter what system it's on.

I don't see how flying through rings over and over again could even be considered playable. Shouldn't he fight something? He's Superman! It wasn't terrible because it was on bad hardware, it was terrible because it was a terrible game, period.
There were 2 8-bit Superman games: Superman on NES and Superman on Atari 2600/Commodore 64. Both were pretty bad,
The Death and Return of Superman beat-em up on SNES & Genesis was pretty good. And the Superman Arcade Game from the 80s wasn't bad (but it wasn't great either).
I was thinking more 8-Bit PC than consoles. Which brings up the question, how far back does legacy platforms go? Also to answer your question, there have been all kinds of games doing things the character did not do in the original media that were decent games. not saying his is, but this was supposed to show off the N64 and did no such thing since they obviously had no idea how powerful the machine really was. I wasn't expecting much when I saw the word superman on a video game cart, usually doesn't mean anything. If you want a superhero that has more consistent good games with few bad Batman would probably be your best bet DC comics wise. In fact, that's your only alternative DC comincs wise.
