This post is a little bit of a history lesson, but at the end you get to play a game, so stick with us. A few years ago, an unreleased Sunsoft game, called Sunman, was uncovered -- and it was pretty clearly a re-purposed Superman game. Now, an even earlier version of that same game (which actually features the Man of Steel!) has been discovered and made available for your perusal.
The gameplay is so-so, but there's an absolutely gorgeous version of John Williams' Superman theme that we just adore. It's worth it for the music alone, trust us.

Oh hell yes. Time to get the Angry Video Game Nerd on the case.

This is the kind of stuff I miss from the old NintendoWiiFanBoy. While news is nice, I like these little tidbits. I wish they would've stayed separate.

I actually played it, it's really not bad at all. It ends after you beat the first boss, but that's cause it's a prototype. But other then that the gameplay isn't bad at all.

Looks like a port of the Superman arcade game from that screenshot.
