Video games

See main article: List of video games featuring the Hulk. The Hulk's first appearance in a video game was the 1984 graphic adventure computer game Questprobe featuring The Hulk,[42] [43] and the character began making appearances on home and handheld consoles a decade later.[44] [45] An earlier game was originally planned by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600 in 1983, but was canceled in the midst of the video game crash.[46] Several companies have developed games based on the Hulk, including Adventure International,[47] Probe Entertainment,[48] Attention to Detail,[49] Radical Entertainment,[50] [51] Edge of Reality, and Amaze Entertainment.[52] The Hulk's standalone titles are often action games that pit the Hulk against supervillains in a beat 'em up format,[48] [49] [50] with Bruce Banner occasionally appearing for stealth or puzzle elements.[50] [53] Apart from his standalone titles, the Hulk also appears in several other Marvel titles within an ensemble cast;[43] in these appearances, he is occasionally accompanied by members of his own supporting cast, such as Abomination and She-Hulk.[54] [55] [56]
