The Sega Game Gear, Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES and Game Boy ports of Captain America and the Avengers both follow the arcade game's levels and storyline closely, but are limited to only one and two players, respectively. Most critics felt that the Sega Genesis version was the best of the 16-bit versions, which was unusual, as when a game was made for both the Super Nintendo (ported by Mindscape) and Sega Genesis (ported by Data East themselves), the Super Nintendo version of the game would be technically superior. However, the SNES version's technical superiority was hampered by its sluggish controls and slow gameplay, while the Genesis was much closer to the arcade's gameplay even though the graphics and sounds weren't as good the SNES/arcade game.
