I beg your pardon! Although I am unclear as to whether you're referring to all my games or simply the "QuestProbe" series, but I must impress upon you that my games sold fairly well. In the 80's -- I was king!

Electro. Hydroman. Mysterio. Sandman. Doctor Octopus.
All the classic villains. Man, that game was a hoot. Hey, didja ever give my other QuestProbe games a chance?
My first QuestProbe release was the Hulk. That was probably back in '84. Also, let's not forget the release just after Spider-man, The Fantastic Four (featuring Human Torch & The Thing).

Never beat any of the games, did you? Spiderman, I felt, as the second release, gave me more leeway, I was able to really make it a more complex text adventure. But, Roody, if its handholding you need, then I'll have to recommend my first game, The Hulk. Much simpler.
Besides, if you never completed any of the games, how do even know there's a "SECRET CODE?"
(Oh, as this is a comics base, I should add that Marvel actually produced a QuestProbe comic to help advertise the games. Not their best work, sadly.)
Believe me, Roody, no one's more disappointed than me that further QuestProbe games never saw the light of day. X-men, which was to come after FF, was never released, but work was underway when my company, Adventure International, went bankrupt. Also in the works was a game planned for the remaining members of the Fantastic Four (Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Girl). Oh, but this is so long ago. I haven't really kept in proper touch with the online world until, but my wife sure has. Alexis currently helms the online sex site fatfantasy.net.
