Video games

The Hulk's first appearance in a video game was the 1984 graphic adventure computer game Questprobe featuring The Hulk , [42] [43] and the character began making appearances on home and handheld consoles a decade later. [44] [45] An earlier game was originally planned by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600 in 1983, but was canceled in the midst of the video game crash. [46] Several companies have developed games based on the Hulk, including Adventure International, [47] Probe Entertainment, [48] Attention to Detail, [49] Radical Entertainment, [50] [51] Edge of Reality, and Amaze Entertainment. [52] The Hulk's standalone titles are often action games that pit the Hulk against supervillains in a beat 'em up format, [48] [49] [50] with Bruce Banner occasionally appearing for stealth or puzzle elements. [50] [53] Apart from his standalone titles, the Hulk also appears in several other Marvel titles within an ensemble cast; [43] in these appearances, he is occasionally accompanied by members of his own supporting cast, such as Abomination and She-Hulk. [54] [55] [56]
