X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse and The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the SNES were both released several months later, and, personally, I know which of these games I would've been saving my money for at this time in my life. (So, there were no major spoilers in this game.) This game was sandwiched between the releases of Capcom's Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers and Acclaim's Spider and Venom: Maximum Carnage (also for the SNES and Sega Genesis) and both of them seemed to have more revenue for marketing, so I'm not surprised if this game got overlooked by a large majority of console players. The Death and Return of Superman console game was advertised in the summer of 1994, well after the entire comic book story line had resolved itself.
I'll be playing the SNES version and I'll be reviewing this game as a comic book fan and a gamer. Keeping that in mind, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to revisit 1994's The Death and Return of Superman game from Sunsoft, Inc released for the Super Nintendo AND Sega Genesis. I mean, I get the overall gist of it - but some of the minutiae details are lost on me. I have a very vague memory of the Death of Superman, Funeral for a Friend, Reign of the Supermen! and The Return of Superman story lines. This has renewed my interest in the entire epic 90's comic event - which, as I mentioned in a previous post, was the death knell of my hard-core comic book collecting days (having felt that everything 'had been done' after the resolution of that event and nothing would ever surprise me again). It's been a good summer for the 1992 Death and Return of Superman story line, with DC reprinting all four collected editions of the story and various Reign on the Supermen! characters appearing in DC Rebirth titles.
