Superman is a 1997 game for the Game Boy, based on the animated series Superman: The Animated Series.

Plot[]

Based on Superman: The Animated Series. Metropolis is once again under attack by the despicable Lex Luthor, and this time he'll stop at nothing to destroy Superman once and for all. You play as the Man of Steel, as he treks through 10 expansive levels to take down his long-time adversary. The battle will take place on land, through the air, and in the sea, and dozens of Luthor's henchmen will try to stop you. Luthor's main weapon this time around is the new Lexoskel-5000, a weapon that can wipe out the entire population of Metropolis if used correctly. You'll tussle with the elusive Shadow Walkers, go head-to-head with the alien force called The Preserver, and more.

Gameplay[]

In each level, the player must collect a certain number of keys and possibly fight a boss, then step on a marked area to leave. Keys may be found around in the environment or collected from defeated enemies.

Superman attacks by punching his enemies or by punching to deflect their bullets back at them. He can navigate environments through standard walking or he can hold down the jump button to fly. He must be careful of bombs which are floating throughout the levels as running into them causes loss of health. He also must face other environmental hazards, like electrical barriers.

Some levels put ground under Superman's feet and play some like a normal platforming/fighting game, albeit with flight. Others are all flying and forced scrolling, making them something like a 2D shooter with no ranged attack where the player must hold down a fly button to stay aloft.
