13 Video Games That Prove Superman Is Cursed

8. Superman – Sony PlayStation

Another Superman game that sadly never made it out the door was this exclusive game for the original Sony PlayStation that was based on the animated series.

Originally the PS1 version of Superman was going to be a port of the Nintendo 64 version (more on that later). But when the game received poor reviews the French publishers Titus decided to turn to the highly regarded Blue Sky Software for an alternative game. Blue Sky came up with a fairly open world 3D affair that combined all the best elements of the cartoon and they looked to be onto a winner as the game received very favourable previews from the press.

Incredibly though Titus had allowed their Superman license to run out before the game was finished. This ended up costing the company millions of dollars as they had to refund the huge number of pre-orders for game and still pay the developers.
