Top 10 Amiga Superhero Games
Amiga only had 11 games based on comic book superheroes. At least to my knowledge. I don't consider Terminator or Robocop to be superheroes to be clear. Anyway, grand majority of them were laughingly bad so approach this list cautiously. One way or another, have a look and let me know what you think.

Simulmondo released some Italian games based on Spider-man - L'Uomo Ragno: Il Ritorno Di Hobgoblin, ...E Ora, Carnage! and L': Destino Incrociato!.
There's a game based on British comic book character Dan Dare called Dan Dare III: The Escape as well as American character Buck Rogers in Buck Rogers: Countdown To Doomsday. Nathan Never might be a possible inclusion too. |

Are Asterix and Obelix superheroes?
To my big surprise, no a lot of Italian comics characters in Amiga games. (like Zagor, Tex Willer, Mister No...) |

They were to me! As is Robocop, and also the Terminator given any movie after Terminator 1.
The Amazing Spiderman is my #1. I can't help but be a sucker for games with tiny sprites and these are the tiniest that even animate well. Batman is good... but it also has that dreadful flying level. Last edited by gimbal; 13 May 2022 at 17:46. |

What about Fatman: The Caped Consumer? Does it count?

That's actually a pretty valid point. The fact that they were based in ancient times does not take away from their feats of heroism. And they were positive characters. Perhaps, it seems, I've missed couple of games that could've raised the average quality of games on this list. xD

I will have to try those games, even without knowing much of Italian. Sad that they never translated any of them. Last edited by Anubis; 16 May 2022 at 21:34. |

Was that X-Men mod ever ported to Amiga though? Quake was released on it in a form of an unofficial port years after the system was long dead, so...

It was reviewed in several Amiga magazines (e.g. http://amr.abime.net/review_3357) but it was through a disreputable company called Alive Mediasoft.
