Holy shit it's NOT Superman 64!!
Ask anybody to name you a terrible Superman game and there’s a good chance they’ll reply immediately with Superman 64, quite possibly the gold standard in terrible comic book superhero games. However, before Lex Luthor was forcing Superman to fly through rings and to carry cars while flying through even more rings – and while simultaneously forcing The Man of Steel to deal with “Kryptonite Fog” and shitty draw distances – he was blowing up a garbled mess of pixels that kind of resembled a bridge and took to the skies with his cronies on the Atari 2600 in the eponymous Superman. Superman isn’t the worst game I’ve ever played but it’s an exercise in blandness that takes little more than a lunch break to beat and offers about as much replay value as a pamphlet on gonorrhea.
