N.B. The console versions of the same name are different games.
Superman does his best impersonation of Space Harrier when he battles the advance guard of supervillain Darkseid's invading Parademon army.
Superman does battle with terrorists galore in an effort to save his beloved Lois Lane and Governor Lee, who are being held hostage aboard The Atlantis, anchored in Metropolis Harbour.
Superman must escort the space shuttle carrying Professor Gorwin to the STAR Labs satellite through an asteroid storm containing strength-sapping green Kryptonite.
The system's defence robots have gone haywire and have wrongly identified Superman as an illegal intruder. The robots first shots aren't fatal, but rather trap him in a bubble from which he must punch his way free or face a hail of more deadly fire.
Déjà vu! Superman must navigate another asteroid storm riddled with green Kryptonite, but this time to escort the STAR Labs satellite to safety instead of the space shuttle.
The alien satellite is protected by a huge forcefield belonging to arch-nemesis Lex Luthor. Heatseeking missiles await Superman on penetration, after which he must use his telescopic vision to one-by-one seek & destroy the space station's vital sectors.
Double diabolical déjà vu Batman! Superman is returned to the scene of the crime that is mission 4. Standing between you and world salvation....the demise of Lex Luthor's mercenaries along a scrolling corridor, in the inglorious final confrontation.
