Superhero League of Hoboken (1994, PC)

Superhero League of Hoboken is mix between adventure game and RPG. It was developed and published by Legend Entertainment.
In the 22nd century, the USA have become a very bleak place. Civilization has collapsed, the land is devastated and polluted, mutant creatures of all sorts roam the place. Yet mankind tries hard to get back on its feet, and many people whose mutation gave them (more or less useful) superpowers have founded regional leagues of superheroes to restore order and help mankind to rebuild. You play a superhero called The Crimson Tape, who has just become leader of the superhero league of Hoboken (which has been pretty much run down by his predecessor). Together with your team, you have to fulfill all kinds of missions to solve local problems, and fight your nemesis, the evil Dr. Entropy.

The adventure part is similar to other games by Legend of the time. You see your environment from a first-person view, putting together commands from a list of verbs, similar to LucasArts adventures. Many objects also allow several special commands. You have a whole party of superheros which you can select from members of your league. Some of them have powers which are needed to solve puzzles in the adventure part, while others have powers usable in combat only.
The game is separated into missions, which for the most part can be solved in any order. If you complete a set of missions given to you, your league gets promoted and more superheros to chose from will join your league.
As for the RPG part, the game features turn-based combat. Most encounters are random and appear while you travelling through New Jersey between different locations where you have to solve puzzles. Apart from superpowers, you can also use long-range and melee weapons in combat. Equipment can be bought at various merchants.
