Questprobe featuring The Hulk

Questprobe featuring The Hulk is a 1984 adventure game that puts players in control of Marvel’s famously angry green powerhouse. The game combines exploration, puzzles, and problem-solving with the unusual challenge of controlling a character whose primary skill is generally considered “become extremely strong and smash things.” The Hulk’s abilities provide a distinctive way to approach the game world, although not every problem can be solved by turning the nearest object into debris. Players must explore, interact with the environment, and figure out how to use strength intelligently. The result is an early superhero adventure with a charmingly unusual premise. Questprobe featuring The Hulk captures the character’s essential appeal while reminding players that even the strongest hero occasionally has to stop and think. Unfortunately, thinking is probably less satisfying than smashing, but it is occasionally necessary.
