List of Superman video games

Superman video game for the Atari 2600, the first officially licensed Superman game released.
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 first Superman film. Due to the success of the movie and the continued popularity of the character, there have been many Superman-based games released since.
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] As a result, later Superman games were given "the Superman curse", which means that there will be negative reception for that game.
