The lost Superman has been found
Superman 64, considered by many to be the worst video game in history, never made it to the PlayStation. Or is it?
The game Superman 64 for Nintendo's 1999 64-bit console was considered one of the worst, and for some even the worst game in history. It was developed by the French company Titus Interactive, and the PlayStation version was supposed to be made by their American subsidiary BlueSky Software, Warner Brothers, who was the publisher of the game, changed their mind and never sent the PlayStation version to the market.
But that doesn't mean the game doesn't exist. In 2013, DevianArt bought it on eBay from a man named Richard Mandel, but didn't immediately release it to the public due to some unnamed scandal in the rare game market. Well, now apparently it's that far, and if you want to know what it's like to play one of the worst games in the world, you can. With an emulator, of course, since the existing PlayStation consoles no longer directly support more than twenty-year-old technologies.
Yeah dude, alternate universe Superman 64 (the unreleased PlayStation game planned to come out around the same time) just dropped. First time I've ever seen a video game prototype get released on Deviant Art. https://t.co/a4xesFsGXE pic.twitter.com/tyU7gsPvPt
