10 Marvel Superhero Video Games You Never Knew Existed

10. Captain America & The Avengers

While this is easily the most well-known game on this list, it’s one I just couldn’t leave out. Not just because it’s excellent but also because it’s the first Marvel video game to feature a whole cast of playable Avengers.

Developed by Data East, it was first released to arcade audiences in 1991, versions for the Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo followed soon after. In essence the game is a scrolling beat ‘em up, but mixes things up by adding in a few shoot ‘em up sections.

You can choose to play as any of the four characters on offer: Hawkeye, Iron Man, Vision or Captain America himself. Each character has their own unique abilities. Your mission is to defeat the evil Red Skull, but along the way you will have to despatch many other famous Marvel villains that include Klaw, Ultron, Mandarin and Juggernaught.

This is a game that Marvel fans will really love. as it captures the look of the comic books brilliantly and features some really entertaining dialogue.
