Description

"Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams" is a platformer beat 'em up video game developed by Beam Software and published by Playmates Interactive for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1995. Based on Jim Lee's popular comic book series "WildC.A.T.S," created by the artist during his time at Image Comics, the game allows players to control various members of the WildC.A.T.s team, heroes tasked with combating an alien menace known as the Daemonites. The game features multiple levels where players navigate through various environments, battling enemies and overcoming obstacles to advance, incorporating character-specific abilities and weapons to enhance gameplay.

The game is artistically vibrant, mirroring the dynamic art style and intense action sequences found in the comics. Each playable character, such as Spartan, Grifter, and Maul, has unique moves and powers, adding a strategic element to the combat system. Despite being considered somewhat obscure in the vast library of SNES titles, "WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams" garnered attention due to its association with the celebrated comic book artist Jim Lee and its connection to the then-booming trend of superhero-themed entertainment. The release was part of a larger multimedia effort to capitalize on the WildC.A.T.S franchise, which included an animated TV series and a wide range of merchandise, echoing the typical cross-promotional strategies prevalent in the 90s.
