A number of officially licensed video games based on the character Superman have been created, the first being released in 1979, over a year after the Superman film.
Over the years, video games based on Superman have attained a reputation for being of low quality. [1] The most prevalent example of this is the 1999 Nintendo 64 Superman game which is considered to be one of the worst video games ever made. [2]
