This is listing a game title, not defending a game.
I implore you, defend this thing, because I cannot think of a single positive aspect about it.
It's neat that they gave it three level variants - the first level where you're shooting things on what looks like a level design from Outrun looks pretty cool. The side-scrolling level where everything pushes you back half a screen is pretty annoying though.
That's the Commodore 64 version of Superman.
I think the one mentioned was the Nintendo 64 version of Superman, which was a LOT different.
