You could argue of course, that Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance and its sequel featured the Avengers, but it was far broader than that – including other characters from Marvel’s expansive universes. But it wasn’t good.Īnd that was really it for a long time.
It’s notable for being the first fighting game to include assist characters and desperation moves. It had a strange selection of characters, offering only Black Knight, Captain America, Crystal and Thunderstrike as playable avengers. Using a faux 3D look, similar to Killer Instinct, it allowed players to battle the Kree in versus combat. Harder for me than Battletoads, or Megaman.ĭata East’s third Avengers game was a little known Arcade 1v1 fighting game, the 1996 release Avengers in Galactic Storm. It was more of a side-scrolling adventure game, that allowed you to play as both Hawk eye and the Captain their mission is to save the Vision and Iron Man from Mandarin, then defeat the Red Skull. Though bearing the same name, and made by the same studio, it was a vastly different game. It also got a very different version released on the Nintendo Entertainment System. And it was…kinda fun, and eventually ported to the home systems of the time. Some levels had players doing side-scrolling shooting instead, with Captain America and Hawkeye in vehicles, but Vision and Iron Man flying on their own. The first of them was Captain America and the Avengers – an arcade game, a side-scrolling brawler that had up to four player choosing to play as either Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, or the Vision.
Data East had the licence to make games based on the assembled heroes in the 90’s producing a trio of games that some still hold in high regard. There haven’t been very many Avengers games made at all – and that’s presumably down to licencing. Here’s a list of some of the Avengers games you could play.Īdmittedly, it’s a rather small list. There are, for better or worse, no Avengers licenced film tie-in games – but they’re no strangers to digital entertainment. Barring standouts like the Arkham games, licenced super-hero games are almost inevitably bad – but given what developers have learned about how to do them, The Avengers seem like they’d be perfect. This film, like the last one, seem like they could be the perfect vehicles for a decent super-hero videogame. Today, you’ll be able to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron in cinemas ( It’s apparently quite good) – provided Eskom and its nefarious load shedding don’t get in your way.
