Play Captain America and the Avengers (Europe) Online

Captain America and the Avengers came out for the Super Nintendo in 1993, published by Data East. It was one of those side-scrolling beat 'em ups that felt right at home on the system, sitting alongside other comic book and arcade ports of the era. The game let you step directly into the pages of the comics, with bright colors and familiar heroes filling the screen.

You control one of four Avengers, like Captain America or Hawkeye, moving screen by screen to punch, kick, and use special attacks against waves of enemies. The main goal is to fight through various stages to defeat the Masters of Evil and rescue your captured teammates. Signature mechanics include picking up and using weapons dropped by foes, calling in assists from other Avengers for screen-clearing attacks, and navigating occasional vehicle-based shooter sections. The pacing is brisk, though the difficulty can spike sharply in later levels. It feels straightforward and energetic, like a Saturday morning cartoon you can play with a friend.
