THE MOST MESSED-UP MOMENTS FROM 14 YEARS OF SUPERHERO VIDEO GAMES â€“ AWESOMELY NERDY NITPICKS!

If you're a superhero fan who loves video games, you've experienced firsthand how pretty much every title out there â€“ good or bad, remembered or forgotten â€“ does something that's absolutely, unapologetically WRONG! with its source material. This ebook documents the most egregious â€“ and most hilarious â€“ offenders from the moment Superman flew onto the Atari 2600 in 1978 all the way through 1992, when Konami's classic X-Men sucked in quarter after quarter in arcades.
