Video games

The Hulk's first appearance in a video game was the 1984 graphic adventure computer game Questprobe featuring The Hulk,[41][42] and the character began making appearances on home and handheld consoles a decade later.[43][44] 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.[45] Several companies have developed games based on the Hulk, including Adventure International,[46] Probe Entertainment,[47] Attention to Detail,[48] Radical Entertainment,[49][50] Edge of Reality, and Amaze Entertainment.[51] The Hulk's standalone titles are often action games that pit the Hulk against supervillains in a beat 'em up format,[47][48][49] with Bruce Banner occasionally appearing for stealth or puzzle elements.[49][52] Apart from his standalone titles, the Hulk also appears in several other Marvel titles within an ensemble cast;[42] in these appearances, he is occasionally accompanied by members of his own supporting cast, such as Abomination and She-Hulk.[53][54][55]
