Kemco's NES Superman stays bland. Powers are poorly used, levels confusing, controls sluggish. The gap between the icon and this laborious action game shows up fast in any modern session.

Collector interest

American NES exclusive from Kemco based on the DC superhero, whose reputation rests on its standing as a failed licensed game rather than on quality. For collectors the angle is completing DC licenses on the NES and the documentary curiosity of a poor but historically noted Superman adaptation. Its value reflects the franchise's fame, not any merit on the field of play.
