When it comes to hallowed arcade classics , comic - ledger games are more than represented . Hold on to your quarters , because we ’re take aim a trip through the bowling alleys of yesteryear to drag up the finest four - panel game in colonnade chronicle .
Superman – 1988
In this side - scrolling Taito form of address , Superman and his sidekick “ Red Superman ” squad up to defeat exotic invaders . strangely , Superman ’s main power is not his heat vision but rather his “ sonic punch . ”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – 1989
Konami ’s side - scrolling adaptation of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird ’s recent adolescent amphibious shinobis was an colonnade classic – the 1991 edition for the Nintendo Entertainment System was borderline impossible ( Bebop in Stage 2 , rassum frassum ) .
Batman – 1990
In Atari ’s Batman , you controlled the Michael Keaton Bruce Wayne as he pummeled the Joker ’s hooligans . Although Danny Elfman ’s classic theme is present in the game , Prince ’s “ Batdance ” is conspicuously wanting .

Captain America and the Avengers – 1991
Thanks to this Data East measure - pica - up , the Graeco-Roman Avengers roster in my mind ’s eye consists of Captain America , Iron Man , Hawkeye , and gummy Vision .
Spider - Man : The Video Game – 1991
Sega ’s take on Marvel ’s webslinger switch between platform and beat - em - up modal value . The biz team Spidey up with Namor , the Black Cat , and Hawkeye . If this secret plan was lawful to the comical book , it would be over in 5 minute , as Namor would only chuck Spidey ’s integral rogues gallery into the ionosphere .

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Turtles in Time – 1991
Konami ’s fourth dimension - traveling subsequence to the first TMNT arcade title . Its intro birdcall make the “ Ninja Rap ” audio like gross doggerel .
go - Men – 1992
If you were sentient during the other nineties , chance are you ( and five of your closest ally ) wasted an good afternoon at this game ’s massive locker . Not only was Konami ’s go - Men a red cent to play , it also provided a hilariously idiosyncratic take on Marvel ’s favorite mutants . For example , Wolverine speak with an Australian accent mark , Colossus had a sparkle attack , Juggernaut carried a bazooka , and Magneto ’s broken English is the stuff of legend ( see : “ WELCOME TO DIE , ” “ I AM MAGNETO MASTER OF MAGNET , ” “ KILL YOU YOU ARE DEAD , ” “ COME X - CHICKEN ” ) .
Cadillacs And dinosaur – 1993
This Capcom pulsation - mutton quad - up is an adjustment of Mark Schultz ’s eighties indie claim Xenozoic Tales . Its sequel Volvos and Mastodons was nowhere as successful ( we pull the leg of , we josh ) .
The Punisher – 1993
Capcom ’s Punisher title had Frank Castle and Nick Fury fork over some Final Fight - style beatdowns . Weirdly , the Punisher apply his clenched fist most of the game . C’m on ! Since when did Frank ever play fair ?
Alien Vs . predatory animal – 1994
Incidentally , the AVP franchise set out as a comic book – this squad - up first occurred in a 1990 issue of Dark Horse Presents . In Capcom ’s interlingual rendition of the AVP mythos , estrange Din Land in San Drad , California – Dutch , Lt . Linn Kurosawa , and two Predator warrior must incorporate the infestation . lamentably , this arcade gemstone was never port to consoles .

X - Men Children of The Atom – 1994
The root to the entire Marvel vs. Capcom series , Children of The Atom was noteworthy for expectant medicine , a range of X - foes , and Street Fighter 2 ’s Akuma as a hidden character .
Avengers in Galactic Storm – 1995
This Data East fighter hide the 1992 Avengers plot line in which Captain America and company becoming entrenched in the Kree - Shiar warfare . The game oddly allowed thespian to select primarily between nineties who - cares Avengers ( Crystal ? Thunderstrike ? ) and every bit vague Kree fighters . You make ta get laid the Giant Man special attack , in which Hank Pym ’s meaty paw grabs your opponent from across the screen .
Marvel Super Heroes – 1995
Respect to Capcom for dusting off D - List villains such as Blackheart and Shuma Gorath for this fighter . And yes , the soundtrack is awesome .
Batman evermore : The Arcade Game – 1996
Acclaim ’s Final Fight - esque scrapper tied in with the less hilarious of the Joel Shumacher Batman flicks . The video is from the Sega Saturn porthole .
X - Men Vs . Street Fighter – 1996
If your head did n’t explode the first time you heard this be , I ’m not sure I want to know you .
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter – 1997
basically Marvel Super Heroes + X - Men Vs . Street Fighter . To cite the immortal Stan Lee , “ Nuff said . ”
Marvel vs. Capcom : Clash of Super Heroes – 1998
Capcom rejiggered the VS . formula and added their own characters to the game . If you had ever dreamed of a Mega Man versus Venom free-for-all , this secret plan answer your prayers .

Spawn : In the Demon ’s Hand – 2000
A Spawn plot from Capcom … who’d of thunk ? Anyway , the 3D biz was mission - based and required the player to embark on all sorts of extreme 1990s anti - hero missions . The gameplay here is from the Dreamcast version .
