The Red Skull is out to conquer the world once again (like he ever does anything else), so it's up to Captain America and the Avengers to stop him and his army of thugs. Inspired by the DC Comics serials.

A sad platform beat-'em-up that could be a lot better than it actually is. Gameplay is decent enough, but the graphics are rough and the bad sound gets on your nerves after a while. Fans of the comic books will like it, but that's about it.

Captain America and the Avengers is a side-scrolling, hand-to-hand combat game.
Choose one of four characters to battle the Red Skull and his evil army: Captain America, Vision, Iron Man, or Hawkeye. Each character has
special weaponry and special abilities.

Characters in Captain America and the Avengers can pick up objects like tires, rocks,
barrels, and cars to use against enemies. As with most combat-style games, certain
enemies are more difficult to defeat than others.

Between levels, there are flying stages where the characters take to the air to fight
enemies. The flying stages require the heroes to destroy ships and flying enemies to
advance to the next ground stage.

Each character in Captain America and the Avengers possesses unique abilities.
Captain America throws his titanium shield to destroy enemies. Vision uses his
mind blast. Hawkeye shoots arrows with his bow, and Iron Man uses his
special armor's pulse cannons to do battle. Each character is also capable of a jumping attack.
With these special attacks, the character jumps into air, hovers there for a moment, and
then fires his weapon against enemies at ground level.

The ultimate goal of Captain America and the Avengers is to reach the Red Skull's
island and defeat him before he can conquer the Earth.

A side-scrolling beat'em up (punctuated with occasional shoot'em up sections) in which one or more players take on the role of either Captain America, Iron Man, Vision, or Hawkeye as they prepare to do battle with Red Skull and his henchmen. Each player character has a different weapon or power that can be used throughout the game to assist them in combat. Captain America uses his shield, Iron Man uses his repulsor rays, Vision uses his solar beam and Hawkeye uses his bow and arrows. There are also additional superheroes such as Quicksilver, Sub-Mariner, Wonder Man, and The Wasp who appear at certain points in the game to assist the player characters. Some of the super-villain foes that await the heroes are Klaw, The Living Laser, Whirlwind, The Grim Reaper, The Wizard, The Controllers, The Mandarin, The Juggernaut (from X-MEN), Ultron and Crossbones. The game consists of five stages.

The NES version is a side-scrolling action platform game. The only playable characters in this version are Captain America and Hawkeye; their mission is to save the Vision and Iron Man from Mandarin.
