That 2600 version is unreal. I've been playing it for 40 years and it's still intriguing. The entire game feels like it's a glitch from another planet, in a different dimension, and it's going to catch on fire at any minute. It rules!
Love your presentation. Love your content. Love your videos. I hope life is treating you kind. Please, keep loading videos that take me back to my childhood. I love love LOVE it 💜
Wow, 1 million dollars in 1940 for a cartoon. According to inflation calculator that is 18,565,571 dollars! Patman u rock for finding information like this and putting it together so well!
Great video, I kept pausing to explain to my kids my experiences with these games. My all time favorites were the 1989 2player arcade & the 1994 death/return of Superman
Been a subscriber for the past few months, gotta say I like your positive attitude, seems like you don't crap on anything that we don't all already know sucks, anyway great video can't wait for the next one!👍👍👍👍
Man, these are great! They must be a ton of work to put together but the end result is really something to be proud of! Thank you for making these and letting me re-live my childhood when I stole quarters from the change jar to play Mortal Kombat at the pizza place around the corner! P.S. $1 slices.... those were the days!!!
The Taito arcade cabinet took more quarters than I care to say back in the late 80's. I still think that is my favorite Superman game. The Lego games are cute and the fighting games fun, but a good ol'fashion beat 'em up with that score was all I needed. Another excellent video Patman! Happy Father's Day!
Hey Bro , im so glad to discover your channel , top quality in your videos. I have to say that you are the real Superman. Keep going man , you are one of the best!!
Any chance you could do a berserk or robotron? Berserk would be more interesting because of the weird occurrences on that cabinet. Anyway, please keep up the great work
I am highly surprised that Patman did not pop in a cheeky gag regarding Clark Kent "entering into his ring" when discussing Superman 64. In fact I am bitterly disappointed!!!
Damn this video couldn't have came at a better time, I just got interested in collecting all the superman games and next thing I know your video pops up! Awesome!
the Taito arcade version is the best one in my option. that Sega genesis version i owned and it's not good...on one stage the lamps and furniture are bigger than Superman!😳 great video boss💪
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Just released a rom hack for Superman (MD/SG) last night. Should be on romhacking.net soon. Great Timing! :) billytime.com/ultsuperman/
I really enjoy your videos. Would really like to see also the history of Bugs Bunny video games and also about the Lego video games! Keep up the amazing work
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries i love superman and retro games history. It amazes that the 3d flight controls were tried not twice but like 5 or 6 times. Thank u for your work.
I subscribe to your channel last month and thank you for talking about the very first superhero i idolized when my dad introduced me to Superman. Plus Superman on the genesis and death and return of Superman are my personal favorite games.
Im fairly new to your channel, and im getting caught up on all of the older videos. And i must say, the more i watch, the more i enjoy. Very informative, and nostalgic. The humor is spot on! Keeps it very entertaining. Great job Patman. I highly recommend your work to any one who likes video games, even if they arent hard core gamers. Anyone can enjoy this stuff. Thumbs up from me all the way!! 👍👍
just like you, i played Lego Batman on the 360 with my boys... they are teenagers now... but i remembered this was one of the best games for kids at the time due to the level of fun, simple challenge and the fact they feature our favourite superheroes. when Lego Batman 2 came out, my boys were already old and good enough they could play on their own... some of the best memories of being a gaming parent is when your kids can start playing games and going finishing them without Daddy's help...
Loved Arcade Superman. Used to pay money to get into the county fair and spend the whole time playing that in the arcade tent lol ... the reviews should be better than average out there, I think it's great fun with the large sprites and official John Williams score!!
I just loved the comics! Page after page of Superman flying through rings. Watching him fly through rings in the cartoons and movies was icing on the cake.
Great commentary. You always dig up some stuff I've never heard of before. I had no clue about that 2009 arcade game, and anything before the Taito Arcade game that I loved playing at the pizza place I grew up near. I've had an idea for a Superman game for a while, but it might be considered gimmicky like you mentioned in the video. Due to some circumstance (Red Sun poisoning, being lured off-world, weakened by Kryptonite, etc), Superman is de-powered at the start of the game, and you gradually perform tasks and complete quests where you slowly get more of his powerset until by the end of the game, you're the invulnerable, powerhouse Superman everyone knows. I think that Superman Returns had the right idea by making Metropolis the "health meter" instead of Superman. He needs innovative ideas like that to make the experience feel genuine because he's so powerful. But creators should look at this as a challenge to come up with new ideas, not a roadblock.
Haha! the Dreaded Superman 64 rears it's ugly head! Great Vid Pat! didn't know Superman has some decent beat em' ups! the PS2 one is worth a try I think... cool! and the cancelled NES game is a surprise!
@@louisyork1894 Really though, how do you do it? He's too OP. Any Superman game that actually made him as powerful as he was would be like a game where you couldn't turn the game genie codes off.
Damn that Lex Luger, trying to do in Superman at every turn! You know, the craziest thing I remember about Superman 64 is that it was very highly anticipated, and was delayed. I remember the signs they up on the game case at Walmart apologizing for the game not being available. Also, when my son was around 10 he was strangely mesmerized by Superman Returns on the 360. He played that game every single day, and I think it was one of the first ones he ever beat.
I don't recall Superman 64 being delayed but that's funny that Walmart had to put up signs. They should have delayed it for at least another 20 years LOL
Superman for Sega is actually one of my favorite games of all-time. I think it's the perfect game of difficulty and length. I love the music, too. Some of my favorite video game music (right up there with Maniac Mansion for NES and Beavis and Butt-Head for Sega.
My favorite is the death and return of superman because of the nice comic book layout also I was I kid when that game came out and that comic was super popular!
I would call this idea a success! Please make this a regular series. Mario, Link, and Sonic would be great too. Since you started with Supes why not Batman next
Thank you, I appreciate the nice words. I'm sure I'll continue it with the characters you mentioned at some point. My son also suggested I do Batman next LOL
That should've been included but I thought it was very similar to the master system which is why I probably didn't throw it in their. Thanks for the correction, glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks
I’ve started playing Injustice 2 again for old times sake, I’d say that’s probably the best superman related game that’s been done. I’d genuinely love to see a game made by the same people who gave us Arkham Asylum & City
I'm with your statement near the end, it's been basically impossible for developers to make a good Superman game because he's so overpowered. I can't say I've liked really any of the Superman games that I've played, which are mostly the ones from the Atari 2600 up through the N64 era. The Taito arcade game seemed decent when it was new, but it was so incredibly repetitive that it lost its luster pretty quickly. I haven't played all of them, including any of the open world style ones that came out after PS2 generation and beyond so who knows, maybe they'd change my opinion... but I'm not a big open world guy either so... :)
Some of the open world games are not too bad so if you are a fan of Superman you might want to check them out. Perhaps if the new Superman movie ever gets made that may be rocksteady will rethink their position on their canceled game.
Keep up the good ideas and I will be back to see what I video you come up with next. I am streamer myself. Your thoughts are really inspiring and I will take notes to improve on my own content! Thank you for sharing!
There was a Man Of Steel game on IOS (based on the movie) there was also a cancelled Playstation 1 game titled "Superman" that was based on the animated series, the rom for this game is now available for download but the game is not 100% complete
Very informative and entertaining video. But for the Taito arcade game, was it improper just to say, "Player 2 controls Captain Marvel" instead of saying that it would be explained in a different game? I realize I might be shooting myself in the foot by taking all this time to write this.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries It's not a well known story because it got hidden from the superman origin story. I don't have the specific because it's been a while since i heard the story but it's been part of our history in canada since for as long as i live. We even have a town in saskatchewan called smallville that is all about superman but that's another thing that not well publicize.
The thing that makes the arcade strange is that odd choice of having other superhero looking characters as the thugs, rather than generic criminals or aliens, or anything from the comics. I get the feeling they're supposed to be parodies of other superheroes. One's obviously a spider, so I guess Spider-Man. It's an odd game all around.
shoulda game Sunman on the NES a mention. It was a Superman game that got changed to Sunman because Sunsoft lost the license. Then Sunsoft cancelled that but a prototype got leaked. Rom hackers then restored the game back to superman.
Patman, are you aware you didn't show any footage of superman during the Justice League Task force portion? also why did you briefly splice in footage of Rampage World Tour?????
PatmanQC - History of arcade game documentaries Basically a plug and play emulator , but it’s about the size of a two player arcade joystick panel with 2 joysticks and 6 buttons each.. highly recommend even if I only have interest in about 600 of the 1500 games pre programmed in lol ( lots of duplicates ) .. they’re usually anywhere from 100-180 dollars with anywhere from 1000 - 2000 games depending on which one you get.. amazon sells them but research them a bit.. some companies you can contact and get a games list from them before you decide to buy... but in my opinion , I’m 42, it’s a must have for any older or just retro gamer. Lots of memories in those machines
30 whole minutes of Patman!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Thank you, hope you enjoy it
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Request: History of the Scribblenauts games

The only thing I can think of is, as it is a Japanese take on Superman. Similar to what they did with the NES version
The reason I never beat Lego Batman 2? I got distracted flying around as Superman with the John Williams theme and never made it back to the story.
Watched this video then got an uncontrollable urge to play Rampage: World Tour. Don't know why.
Sorry glitches on my part

You should watch my video all the way to the end and you would've seen I did cover it.
Patman, are you aware you didn't show any footage of superman during the Justice League Task force portion? also why did you briefly splice in footage of Rampage World Tour?????
No but I did show the actual game of Justice league task force. The rampage splice was a glitch in my software
That arcade one is on most pandora boxes.. it’s only 5 stages, but with 3 parts to each stage
I don't know too much about the Pandora, are those officially licensed games?

Basically a plug and play emulator , but it’s about the size of a two player arcade joystick panel with 2 joysticks and 6 buttons each.. highly recommend even if I only have interest in about 600 of the 1500 games pre programmed in lol ( lots of duplicates ) .. they’re usually anywhere from 100-180 dollars with anywhere from 1000 - 2000 games depending on which one you get.. amazon sells them but research them a bit.. some companies you can contact and get a games list from them before you decide to buy... but in my opinion , I’m 42, it’s a must have for any older or just retro gamer. Lots of memories in those machines
Whats with the single frame of Rampage?
Glitch on my part
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries not a problem. Didn't know if it was something I had missed. You do great work I love the videos man

Since I first played the arcade superman I thought player 2 was Shazam?!
It was supposed to be until DC made them change it
