@@EvilKris Most arcade games blew me away back then, as you could see major changes in graphics quality on an almost monthly basis. Robocop was sublime. I thought Aliens was terrific.

The 80s and 90s accomplished so much more with so much less. This game is bright and colorful, just like Superman. The music and controls are fantastic, and the game is simple and straightforward. Beat up all the bad guys, and save the world. There has not been a better Superman video game.
I still remember how excited I felt when I found a game of Superman among the arcades, when I heard John Williams' Superman theme in the background and when it suddenly flipped from a beat 'em up to a shot 'em up. I was "HOLY GODFUCKING SHIT! I'm using Superman's laser eyes now! It's so cool and senseful!". I still think this was the best Superman videogame. Or at least the most decent.
This is my Superman. Aside from the energy projectiles firing from his hand and the blatant lack of empathy for destroying private property. The music rocks, Superman looks great, and the bad guys are cool. There is a nice flow to the gameplay, and the backgrounds are rendered well enough. The color use in this game is stellar for 1988.
I remember this. I saw it back when I was a kid, and I thought it was amazing. I still do. It has amazing graphics and gameplay, and really lets you "become" Superman, with all of the power that that entails. The year was 1988 - 3 years before Street Fighter II and Sonic the Hedgehog, and 1 year before TMNT the Arcade Game - and in that world, perhaps only After Burner could stack up. (Maybe others, as I'm not thinking super-deeply here to remember.) At any rate, it was an incredible game that let you have freedoms that basically didn't exist elsewhere. After all of the fun in the arcade, you then buy "Superman" for NES, and are horrified and sickened by what you just bought (or asked your parents to buy for you as a present). Even in 1988, Superman for NES was utter crap.
Looking back at this makes me think to myself, Taito made the first and perhaps the only good Superman game in existence. They did what was normally perceived as impossible. But they succeeded where Titus failed to do; to make a GOOD Superman game. Seriously, what was so difficult about making a good Superman game that Titus couldn't get right?
If you ask me, Superman just has bad luck when it comes to video games. The only good/decent games for Superman that i know besides this one are: The Death and Return of Superman for SNES and GENESIS (Beat 'em Up) Superman: Shadow of Apokolips (PS2, GC) Superman Returns (XBOX 360, PS3) I haven't actually played these games but from the looks of it, they don't look half bad. I think the reason why it's so hard to make a good Superman game is because Superman is so overpowered in *some* cases. I think the game that came the closest was Superman Returns. Instead of Supes having a health bar, Metropolis did and if it took too much damage, game over.

@@RawChristianSuperman The sign in front of the church in Stage 1. And if you ask me, I think they scheduled the service on Jan. 38th as a ploy to keep Tony Snaaozi from showing up to crash it.
that's because they made superman dislikable and unappealing to certain people who used to like him. i mean back then when christopher reeves was superman i really loved it! now all these cheap knock-offs are taking over> let someone who can actually do the role- do the part for gods sake
Stop doing satan's horns or you will end up like him in hell after passing away for representing him. Denounce satan and his horns and willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent while there is still time. God=Lord Jesus Christ is the original Superman. Superman is based on Him. He is beyond Super.
+Idazmi7 Actually, that image of Superman is of him blocking a blast of energy. With the exception of this game, Superman has never possessed the ability to emit energy blasts from his hands; the Eradicator solely has that ability.
I think you're talking about the Super Flare, a power that ONLY the New 52 Superman had, which was emitted from his eyes (basically, a ramped-up blast of heat vision) that temporarily drained all of his energy... that doesn't qualify as a ki blast. Oh, and the Eradicator actually started as a Kryptonian intelligence designed to safeguard & protect all Kryptonian life (including Superman); the reason he is physically identical to Kal-El is because after his death by Doomsday, the Eradicator sensed Kal-El's "passing", went to the site where Kal-El was buried and formed a corporeal body from a part of the stone slab Superman's coffin was on top of, but he didn't gain all of Superman's abilities (such as heat vision or X-ray vision); Superboy (Conner Kent) is the clone. Superman's abilities, for a long while, have consisted of: limited invulnerability, flight, heat/X-ray/telescopic vision, super-hearing & super/freeze breath. I wonder, did you even read "The Death of Superman", "Funeral For a Friend", and/or "Reign of the Supermen"? 'Cause that where my (official, I might add) info came from... I suggested you head to your nearest comic shop and buy those stories.
Man how I loved this arcade as a kid, and I still do. My favorite superhero arcade side-scroller games were Batman, X-Men, Spider-Man, Captain America & the Avengers, and the Punisher. But my absolute favorite superhero arcade beat-em up game was this Superman game. Taito should have made the second player Captain Marvel, instead of a Superman in Captain Marvel colors.
They used to have this game at an old summer camp’s arcade that I used to go to. I must of heard the intro song where the green villain is holding the globe a thousand times. It would drown out the noise of every other machine. Good memories.
We had an arcade night in high school. Unlimited play. One of the workers just stayed by the game and kept adding credits until I finished the game. I was pretty bad, but eventually finished it.
Oh the nostalgia! I loved this game! Unfortunately, I would only see it at Disneyland so I only got up play it once a year & only made it to level 2. Thanks for uploading this!
It goes to show that Arcade was absolutely the cream of the crop of gaming experience in the 80s. Graphics like this didn’t exist on console until the Sega Genesis and SNES were released. In 1988, you could only see something this good on Arcade.
My only complaint about this whole video is that he didn't partake in the best part of the game. At 13:30 you can pick up that Ferrari with ONE HAND and toss it at an enemy. This is the only place in the whole game where you get to pick up a car, and he KICKED IT UNTIL IT BLEW UP.
Just once, can we get off the Batman bandwagon and FINALLY give Superman a good game that doesn't suck or where he isn't the villian? The most iconic comic hero in history deserves a good game. Boss battles against Silver Banshee, Toyman, Mongul, Parasite, Bizarro, Atomic Skull, Braniac, Doomsday, General Zod, Lex Luthor and especially Darkseid. Although, a gag fight against Nuclear Man from the fourth film where you merely lure him into a room and turn off the light would be funny, especially if he says "I will HURT people!!" before it.
It's funny how Superman simply didn't translate into a good game historically (due to his power).This arcade game was probably as good as could be for it's time, & it was entertaining.
IKR? This game is how I became a Captain Marvel (Shazam!) fan. Knowing the truth kind of broke my heart but now I like to think player 2 is Mon-El of Legion of Super Heroes (powers are similar to Supes).
You were actually right about Player 2. It was supposed to be Captain Marvel but they rushed the game out and only color swapped Superman. If they had taken the time to actually put CM in the game I would own the arcade cabinet right now, no doubt
FUN FACT: On the first and second parts of each stage, the regular enemies show up at enough of an interval for your fully charged up power punch to destroy them and make them produce an orb, which will instantly charge your power punch to full, which will make the defeated regular enemies produce an orb which will charge up your power punch....and on and on and on. You can do this indefinitely, until such time as the game starts sending down giant chunks of meteors to make you move forward.
No one can watch match muscle with Superman he can bench-press 2 million pounds with ease he can fly around the world and 30 seconds he's more powerful Incredible Hulk and doomsday combine Christopher Reeve you will be missed you are the greatest Superman of all time
I remember playing this a bunch of times with my friend in the arcade as a kid. One time we one-shot that human torch knock-off by charging and releasing our power punches simultaneously after overlapping the sprites so it was like a combined power punch.
Has anyone READ a Superman comic since the 80s? He's not invincible anymore. He hasn't been since Crisis on Infinite Earths. The real reason why there has never been a good Superman game is because WB hamstrings the developers into making games that wind up being boring and unexciting. This? This thing you're looking at? This is one of the GOOD ones.
Hey, they also did Injustice and Injustice 2, both of which were damn good storylines, so much so that they were adopted into comic book form, +underthepale.
Was this gameplay maded with TAS? If don't, this bro skills are superb, that part of Supes flying, destroying and evading falling rocks, the reflex are insane. Legendary Game, with Death and Return of Superman for Snes, 2 lovely childhood memories.
Lego Batman doesn't count. Its a Batman game, Its in the name: Batman. Just because Superman is in it doesnt make it a Superman game. Otherwise Justice League game would be a Superman game as well
The grey 2nd player is, according to Wikipedia, just a color scheme for player 2 could tell. Some say he is actually another character. Others say it is just the game. Idea?
It's cool to appreciate the crazy action in the classic games. This game, turtles, X-Men, Simpsons, Avengers, and Spider-man were the best action arcade games back in the day.

When I was 11, I remember going to our local golf and country club with my family, as they played tennis I was in the pub playing this. I loved it.
i remember playing this game at the bowling ally in Alexandria, LA
One to two hits sends these Flash looking guys flying. No wonder it’s hard finding a decent nemesis for Superman.
Is this game easy? Or is the player actually superman?
... 12 minutes in... it's the real Clark Kent
25:45 no!!!!!!!
@15:10 Uhhhh, Mount Rushmore isn't anywhere NEAR Washington D.C....
This game was at a laundromat near me as a kid! Said place closed up a long time ago. I always wondered where Brainiac was!
Since when is Mt. Rushmore anywhere near Washington DC? lol
Probably around the same time the Capital Building was moved next door to the White House.
Loved this game as a kid probably the best superman game ever made
The ONLY good superman game
So what was this advertisement for starting at 8:45. lol.
Given how strong Superman is, I am not surprised it takes him very few hits to defeat his enemies.
I always thought the boss at the end of every 3rd stage was Lex Luthor chillin in the cockpit of the aircraft
My friends and I used to go to a local sub shop and play this game every other day. Can't see it without thinking of that place.
love the superman theme
