My favorite superhero game. A Raconteur game where the text slowly spools out and changes as you click on links. Choose one of three powers and make moral choices. Gritty and urban.
A quite long and slightly buggy superhero game with two superheros you can switch between. I had bugs stop me twice, but by switching to the other character, I got through. Very funny, very intricate, great for fans of big games or comedy.
3. Earth and Sky by Paul O'Brian (2001) Average member rating: (83 ratings)
MathBrush says:
The first Earth and Sky game. Short and linear and fun. A brother and sister team get power suits and face a foe. Features the sister.
Winner of the IFComp, this game continues the story by having you be the brother on an alien planet. Visit all sorts of parts of a globe, use your powers, solve hard puzzles.
The final game, and, in my opinion, the best. Also an IFComp winner. Switch between the two fighters, fight machines and other heros, and save the world.
6. Heroine's Mantle, by Andy Phillips (2000) Average member rating: (15 ratings) MathBrush says:
Ultra, ultra long game. Huge. Playing through with the walkthrough took me over a week, doing an hour or two at a time. Become the Golden Crusader, guardian of Atlantic City, and fight five mini bosses before a main boss. Incredibly hard. Has some sexual content.
7. Future Boy! by Kent Tessman, Derek Lo, Dan Langan, and Nate Laguzza (2004) Average member rating: (8 ratings)
MathBrush says:
Great commercial game. I got it by contacting the authors at their website. Graphics, voice recordings, etc. A long game with great NPC's, some fancy implementation (like a convincing DOS shell), and some fun boss fights.
8. Bolivia By Night by Aidan Doyle (2005) Average member rating: (19 ratings)
MathBrush says:
After a slow, casual, historical start about Bolivia, a strong finish. A long, easy game in five parts, with unusual powers and a folk-hero-earthy-hero feel.
The sequel to The Prodigy, this game is much better and is about a superhero reality TV show you join.
22. Heroes Rise: HeroFall by Zachary Sergi (2014) Average member rating: (8 ratings)
MathBrush says:
The finale and probably best of Heroes Rise, this game has you take down a conspiracy by the US president against superheroes in general and your parents specifically.
23. Psy High by Rebecca Slitt (2014) Average member rating: (15 ratings)
MathBrush says:
Play as a psychic teen in a high school where many have unusual powers. Loved this game
