Great Comic Based Games (lemmy.today)

I'm seeing family over the holidays and they really enjoy comic book stuff and video games. I don't know much about comics and am looking for suggestions on classic comic book based games I can load on my RPi and bring over to play. All I'm aware of are some of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games but maybe there are others. Any ideas?

I think you can run SNES games right? There were a whole bunch of Marvel and DC games on the Super Nintendo. Ninja Turtles, Batman, X-Men, Spiderman. And if you can do Sega I remember Earthworm Jim kind of had the same feel

SNES is easy for the Pi. Great ideas, thanks! I've heard of Earthworm Jim but never looked at it before

To piggy back on this, here's some more specific examples (as far as I'm aware listed games have both Genesis and SNES versions unless otherwise noted; note that versions may differ in gameplay and/or quality):

TMNT Turtles in Time (SNES)
TMNT Hyperstone Heist (Genesis, IIRC same game different name)
Captain America and the Avengers
Spider-Man Maximum Carnage
Batman Returns
Adventures of Batman and Robin
Spider-Man/X-Men Arcade's Revenge
X-Men 1 and 2 (Genesis only; for X-Men 1 you may need to work around resetting the console at one point in the game)
there's a Justice League fighting game, IIRC I think it's called Justice League Task Force
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse (SNES only)

Thanks for the list, it's really helpful!
