The Hulk is a fictional superhero in the Marvel Comics universe who first appeared in the comic book series The Incredible Hulk in 1962. [1] The Hulk's first appearance in a video game was the 1984 graphic adventure computer game Questprobe featuring The Hulk , [2] [3] and the character began making appearances on home and handheld consoles a decade later. [4] [5] 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. [6] Several companies have developed games based on the Hulk, including Adventure International, [7] Probe Entertainment, [8] Attention to Detail, [9] Radical Entertainment, [10] [11] Edge of Reality, and Amaze Entertainment. [12] The Hulk's standalone titles are often action games that pit the Hulk against supervillains in a beat 'em up format, [8] [9] [10] with his human alter ego Bruce Banner occasionally appearing for stealth or puzzle elements. [10] [13] Apart from his standalone titles, the Hulk also appears in several other Marvel titles within an ensemble cast; [3] in these appearances, he is occasionally accompanied by members of his own supporting cast, such as his archnemesis Abomination and his cousin She-Hulk.
