Play Captain America And The Avengers Online

Captain America and the Avengers came out on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, published by Data East. It was one of many comic book games trying to capture the action of the era, landing on a console already packed with side-scrolling brawlers.

You pick from four heroes: Captain America, Iron Man, Vision, or Hawkeye. Your goal is to fight through waves of enemies to rescue your captured teammates from the Masters of Evil. The game plays out screen by screen; you clear all the foes in one area before moving to the next. You have a standard attack and a screen-clearing special move that costs health, forcing you to decide when it's worth the sacrifice. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can be punishing, especially with the limited continues. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes frustrating race against the clock and your own health bar.
