Name:	Superman series (2 titles) Superman The Death and Return of Superman
Author/Vendor:	Sunsoft
Released:	various
Type:	Fighting
Language:	English
Premise:	Two very different platform fighters based on the popular superhero and flagship personality from the pages of DC Comics.
Impressions:	Disliked the first game, loved the second. Both have great graphics and sound, but something about the first game just doesn't click. I'm glad that Sunsoft got it almost right with the second title.
Variations:	Superman (1992, smacks strongly of a warmed-over Spiderman and the X-Men with altered graphics) The Death and Return of Superman (1995, based on the now-infamous story arc in which Superman actually died and four wannabes arrived on the scene each claiming to be the Man of Steel reborn - far superior to the first game, although I find it hard to believe that a simple punch can do so much damage to a Kryptonian superhero) Superman fans may also want to take a look at the DC Comics versus fighting game, Justice League Task Force (see separate entry for review)
Recommended Emu:	Genecyst X
