Designed by Steve Meretzky, the game combines the superhero, comedy and post-apocalypse genres. It was available on both floppy disk and CD-ROM. It uses 256 colour 2D graphics. SettingIn the future, the world is ravaged by wars, nuclear disasters and pollution. Mutations become common, resulting to individuals and creatures with mutant superpowers who unite in crime and become supervillains. However other individuals decide to unite their powers for the common good and become superheroes. The game is set in the post-apocalyptic New Jersey-New York-Pennsylvania Tri-state area, where the player controls a team of off-beat and often useless superheroes who battle a number of strange enemies, most notably the evil Dr. Entropy, a human jack-in-the-box with plans to bring chaos in the world. The missions in the game were typically bizarre and often satirised present-day society. CharactersAnytime the player can choose their team from a retinue of off-beat characters. The protagonist is the Crimson Tape, whose power is to make organizational charts. His companions are the Iron Tummy, who can eat any amount of spicy food without suffering intestinal distress, Treader Man who is a fantastic swimmer, the Tropical Oil Man, who defeats villains by giving them high cholesterol, the Oxide Man who can damage mechanical enemies such as robots etc. Every character has three stats which help him in battle: Brawn stat determines weapon damage, Brains affects the effectiveness of super powers, and Toughness is the character's defense. Each character can be taught or achieve secondary superpowers by drinking colored liquids bought or found anywhere in the game. Superpowers mostly are used in combat, although the superpowers of some characters are just a part of the plot (e.g. for solving certain puzzles). DevelopmentDue to designer Steve Meretzky's heavy freelance workload during development of Superhero League of Hoboken, he contracted a friend to help with the game's programming in the last months of 1993.[1] Reception{{Video game reviews| PCGUK = 72%[2] | PCGUS = 84%[3] }} According to Meretzky, Superhero League of Hoboken sold only 20,000-25,000 copies, which he considered "pretty disappointing."[4] Trent Ward of PC Gamer US called the game "an exciting mix of adventure and role-playing, perfect for the gamer who's more concerned with game play than graphics." He stated that it "isn't a game that will change the face of entertainment for years to come, but in the end it really is pretty good fun."[3] Writing in PC Gamer UK, James Leach summarized Superhero League of Hoboken as "good", but he believed that those who "don't like the surrealism ... will soon get bored."[2] Computer Gaming World{{'}}s August 1994 preview of the game stated that "Legend has gone beyond the boundaries of graphic adventures and interbred their traditional fare with elements of computer role-playing".[5] The magazine's Scorpia wrote in October, "[Superhero League of Hoboken] is lightweight fare, and as such, may disappoint those looking for challenging puzzles. On the other hand, this zany melange makes up what is the first true comedy CRPG ever, and that alone is worth the price of admission."[6] The game was later nominated for Computer Gaming World{{'}}s 1994 "Role-Playing Game of the Year" award. The editors remarked that Superhero League of Hoboken "broke most of the rules", and that its "goofy dialogue and storyline, and well-balanced gameplay, make for a wild ride through designer Steve Meretzky's left-of-center imagination."[7]References1. ^{{cite web | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050324032240/http://cdmag.com/articles/030/176/meret_inter.html | url=http://cdmag.com:80/articles/030/176/meret_inter.html | title=Steve Meretzky | date=November 23, 2000 | author=Shif, Gil Alexander | work=Computer Games Magazine | archivedate=March 24, 2005 | deadurl=yes | df= }} 2. ^1 {{cite journal | author=Leach, James | journal=PC Gamer UK | title=Wacky |date=October 1994 | issue=11 | pages=79 }} 3. ^1 {{cite journal | author=Ward, Trent | journal=PC Gamer US | title=Superhero League of Hoboken |date=October 1994 | issue=5 | pages=62, 63 }} 4. ^{{cite book | last=Rouse III | first=Richard | title=Game Design: Theory & Practice Second Edition | publisher=Wordware Publishing | at=192 | year=2005 | isbn=1-55622-912-7 }} 5. ^{{Cite magazine |last=Wilson |first=Johnny L. |author= |last2= |first2= |date=August 1994 |title=The Toxic Humormonger |department= |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=121 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=46–48 |type=}} 6. ^{{cite journal | author=Scorpia | authorlink=Scorpia (journalist) | journal=Computer Gaming World | title=Red Tape and Rubber Chickens |date=October 1994 | issue=123 | pages=49, 50, 52 }} 7. ^{{cite journal | author=Staff | journal=Computer Gaming World | title=The Computer Gaming World 1995 Premier Awards |date=May 1995 | issue=130 | pages=35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 }} External links{{mobygames|id=/superhero-league-of-hoboken}}{{Legend Entertainment}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Superhero League Of Hoboken}} 9 : 1994 video games|Adventure games|DOS games|DOS-only games|Role-playing video games|Superhero video games|Parody superheroes|Steve Meretzky games|Video games developed in the United States |
