Don´t ask me why but I just love this game and I find it very amusing.

I firmly believe that a remake should be done.

The idea of flying between buildings and directing your laser bean by means of mirrors seems to me quite appealing.

Although the execution is rather poor, the idea behind this game works quite well.

4 / 5 .

Another example of how to throw a potentially great license into the garbage can. Superman The Game is simply horrible. Everything in it seems to be gone completely awry, from graphics to sound to playability.

As tie-ins go, it's a rip-off second only to the infamous East Enders.

One of the most infamous badly executed super hero game conversions.
Nothing good can be said, from start to finish this is nasty.

At first you might enjoy the joke. Sneaking a C64 game into a Spectrum archive (with the obvious collusion of the Spectrum emulator authors to make it run) seems funny at first, but in the fullness of time people may even think Spectrum games were blocky messes like this.
Its a risky joke too as one of Britain's largest Telecomms businesses has had its name attached to this superhumanly bad official licence that supposedly has seen every level passed for fit purpose by DC Comics!
I suppose the 'scrolling' levels are a chance to see C64 action at its finest, but, really attaching the Spectrum and Superman's good names to this is shameful.
Abysmal, disingenuous and fallacious. One for C64 fans only.
