Play Captain America and the Avengers (Beta) Online

Captain America and the Avengers was released for the Sega Genesis, developed by Data East. It arrived during a time when licensed beat 'em ups were common, and this one fit right in with its straightforward action and comic book source material.

You control one of four Avengers, like Captain America or Hawkeye, moving through side-scrolling stages punching and kicking through waves of robot enemies. The main goal is to defeat the Masters of Evil and rescue your captured teammates. Signature mechanics include using each character's unique projectile attack, such as Cap's shield throw or Iron Man's repulsor beams, and switching between heroes when you lose a life. The pacing is brisk, though some sections feel repetitive, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to bring comic book action to the Genesis.
