Play Universal Monsters & Superhero Online

I first played Universal Monsters & Superhero on the Amiga back in 1993, a side-scrolling action game that let you step into the shoes of classic characters like Dracula or the Phantom of the Opera, as well as superheroes. It was developed by Krisalis Software and published by Mindscape, fitting right into that era of Amiga games that blended detailed pixel art with straightforward, engaging mechanics. The game stood out for its character selection, offering a different experience depending on who you picked.

You control your chosen character through a series of levels, moving screen by screen, fighting enemies with melee attacks or projectiles, and navigating environmental obstacles. The main goal is to defeat bosses and solve light puzzles to progress, with each character having unique abilities that affect how you approach combat and exploration. The pacing is deliberate, with a moderate difficulty that requires careful movement and timing. It feels like a solid, thoughtful action-platformer where your choice of character genuinely changes how you play.
