13 Video Games That Prove Superman Is Cursed

7. Superman: The Man Of Steel – Sega Mega Drive

Released by Sunsoft in 1992 and re-published by Virgin Games in Europe the year after, this version of Superman gets off to a great start as you see Clark Kent enter a phone box and then come flying out of the screen towards you.

It continues to impress visually too as the game goes on with its vibrant colours and super animation, you definitely can’t accuse this game of not looking the part. It also keeps things pretty close to the subject matter at hand in terms of the plot and gameplay too with Superman trying to defeat the evil Braniac and his legion of evil minions.

Like so many other games on this list though, STMOS ruins the good stuff with a few fatal flaws. The most notable of these is a game breaking bug that forces to hit reset when the wrong icon is collected.
