PrinceWatercress plays Superman (NES) - Part 4 of 8


After just four videos, we're about 50% of the way through the game...already!


If you headed straight to the stock market west of Senneville and talk to the people there, you would have found out from one of the people there that the people at the Fish Market in the Old City are worried about their stock. That is your one clue that you need to go there. Of course, when you head there, you'll be simultaneously getting extensions for your abilities as well as advancing the plot for the game at the same time. In the first chapter, getting more energy for your powers and advancing the plot were independent of each other; in this chapter, they're not. You'll also find out that Glernmorgan Square is also in a slump.

The two people in sunglasses all the way tot he right at the Stock Market are F.B.I. agents. They will tell you that the Dragons Gang (or "Dragon's Gang") has caused the stock slump.

From here, you'll need to head back to Teaboro and head east to China Garden. Enter China Garden and equip Heat Vision, then take out the gangsters. When you see the big guy, hit him with Heat Vision, and punch at him when you get him close to the wall. When you beat this guy, you'll head to the next part of the game. No sooner do you beat the Dragons Gang and save the stocks that a professor and top scientist is kidnapped.

Level Three


You'll be back at the Daily Planet with more health, attack power and defense power. Talk to Lois Lane, and you'll find out that there are two universities to go to: Nordham University around Mt. Royal, and Metropolis University around Andersonville. Jimmy Olsen will tell you that ghosts have been seen at both universities.

We took care of the ghosts around Nordham University at the start of the game while searching for ability extensions, so we only have Metropolis University to head to. Leave the Daily Planet, take out the gangsters and turn into Superman, then take the nearby subway north. Head left towards Andersonville, and when you reach Metropolis University after continuously heading in that direction, you'll meet the F.B.I. agents again. They will tell you that can use X-Ray Vision to see the ghosts, and that the police seem to know something about the kidnapped professor.

This is your cue to head to Teaboro and head to the Metro Police Station. At this point, you'll notice that some enemies will take fewer punches to defeat. The one person who is there will tell you that a man who looked like the kidnapped professor was spotted at Centennial Park. Refer to your map, and you'll see a help signal on the map. You'll need to head east from Andersonville until you find a subway station, then take it north to Centennial Park. When you get to the general area of the park, keep heading to the left, then go down the ladder by standing on top of it and holding Down. Keep in mind that the only way to get off a ladder is to climb all the way up or down it, and you have to be on the ground in order to use them, so keep that in mind as you fight the enemies around here.

Head all the way to the right and climb down the ladder. From that ladder, go right and climb down the next ladder. You'll find a man who will tell you that Jay Falk - a mobster from the movies in the 1980s as well as the comics around the time the movies came out - forced him to put an evil mind in a huge computer, and that something must be done or else Loss Webster (a misspelling of Ross Webster, the main antagonist from Superman III will control the computers of the world. You'll have to destroy the huge computer in order to stop Webster, EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER TELLS YOU WHERE THE COMPUTER IS. From here, you'll need to get back to street level.
