Behold the Majesty of Superman 64 Without the Agony of Playing Superman 64
I’m sure some of you guys have seen this already, but Unreality posted this amazing video of some guy playing Superman 64, a.k.a. the worst superhero game of all time (and one of the worst games ever generally). I’d heard a lot about Superman 64‘s awfulness, but I’d never much seen it in action, so this video series — he’s played through the first three stages, each one shown in two videos — is wonderful for folks like me, who enjoy seeing awful, awful things in all their awfulness. If you enjoy seeing horribly designed, 20-polygon videogame characters falling out of stages and locking the game up, then there’ no better way to spend your lunch break.
