The Incredible Hulk Escapes

About

The Incredible Hulk Escapes is a handheld game from 1978 that leans on chance and basic mechanics. Players press a button to trigger lights on an LCD screen, each lighting up to award points. You track scores manually by turning a built-in dial as Hulk progresses. The game supports two players taking turns, though there’s no digital tracking for head-to-head competition. It’s straightforward and low on strategy, relying more on luck than skill. The game stands out for its late-1970s simplicity and odd release date, December 31, 1978, that’s stuck in a year-end limbo. The need to tally scores separately adds a tactile element missing from most electronic games of the era. While not complex, its dual-player option and physical score dial make it a curiosity for collectors of early handhelds.
