There are better beat 'em ups and better comic book games in that generation(heck, there are better comic book beat 'em ups in that generation[heck, there are better DC Comics beat 'em ups in that generation]).
I know it is not one of the best, or even considered good. But the "World Without A Superman" is my favorite comic story ever. Therefore this game, or the story it's based on, has a soft spot in my heart. I have no problem that it is not considered classic... Its classic to me based on the age, story, and how hard it was (have both the Gen and SNES version) to get at a price I was willing to pay.
I may replace it with the SNES version of Adventures of Batman and Robin (June is Bat-Month on my blog), but I will not change my list unless I start to play AoBaR first.
Also, Ack what other 16 bit DC brawlers are there? I was tempted to put the SEGA CD version of Prime up there since the art is based on my favorite Bat-Artist EVER Norm Breyfogle.
Batman Returns, The Adventures of Batman and Robin, Batman: Revenge of the Joker, Batman: The Video Game, Batman Forever, Superman, The Death and Return of Superman, and Justice League Task Force are all of the DC games that appeared on either Genesis or SNES.
JLTC is a fighting game, but the rest are either action games with beat 'em up elements or straight up beat 'em ups. Of all of them, I think Batman Returns and The Adventures of Batman and Robin are the best, though I have a soft spot for Batman: Return of the Joker on the Game Boy(Revenge being the name of the Genesis version).
That said, Death and Return does cover an essential Superman story arc. Not my favorite...but then my favorite is the "what if" Red Son.

Aliens Versus Predator is one of the best video games of either franchise and totally worth playing.
Fallout is also awesome and totally worth playing.
As is Wonder Boy in Monster World. And I'm all for him playing through Tomb Raider Anniversary. I don't see an issue playing a modern update of a classic like this.
FFIII is balls hard. VIII is definitely longer, but I consider it one of the easiest in the series, with the exception of Omega Weapon, who does pose a challenge.
Mega Man 8 I cannot stand, and I think it's inclusion in any top 1000 list of video games is a joke. Left 4 Dead is ok, though if you want to do that, I'd suggest playing L4D2 instead, since it contains the entirety of L4D in it.
Personally, I do think Batman: Arkham Asylum is going to be a classic of its console era. Same with Assassins Creed. Now whether those eras are old enough is debatable.
Puzzle Quest is 'meh' to me, but I never cared for it.
You know what? Screw the whole list, throw Loom back in there!
