Gameplay
The game begins with Dr Bruce Banner tied hand and foot to a chair. From here, you must figure out how to collect a number of gems using Bruce Banner's genius intellect and The Hulk's great strength. The game is entirely text based, and you play by entering actions you wish Dr. Banner/The Hulk to perform. There are also other actions you can perform during the game such as typing 'i' to check your inventory and typing 'score' to check your score. There are several different areas to explore, such as a large dome, an office a place in the clouds. Several other Marvel characters also make cameos, such as Dr. Strange and Ant-Man.
