Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Incredible Hulk was developed by Probe Software and published by U.S. Gold in Europe on 22 July 1994. It is a side-scrolling action game that mixes platforming with beat 'em up play, with the Hulk facing his nemesis the Leader. The scenario was created by two journalists from Mean Machines.

The Sega Genesis version
A Probe action game that did well on its release, and one where the European cart costs far more than the US one.
This is the Genesis (Mega Drive) version of The Incredible Hulk, a Probe game from U.S. Gold that reached North America in July 1994 and Europe on 22 July 1994. Platforming and brawling share the game as the Hulk takes on the Leader and his other rivals, and his human side, Bruce Banner, must sometimes take over to reach areas the Hulk is too big for.
In its first month on sale it was the sixth-best-selling Genesis game at the US retailer Babbage's, and Mega later ranked it 39th in its list of the greatest Mega Drive games. Computer and Video Games, though, called the Mega Drive version's audio fuzzy and hissy.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Magazine Issue 8 | August 1994 | 50% |
| MegaTech Issue 34 | October 1994 | 82% |
“Unfortunately, to our dismay, the resulting adventure is perhaps one of the most bland platform beat 'em ups on offer.”
“A semi-decent platform game that has nothing whatsoever in common with the licence that it is based on”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
GameFan praised the Genesis game's detailed graphics, animation, long levels and good control and music, calling the difficulty perfectly set.
The Sega versions, including the Mega Drive game, reached Europe on July 22, 1994, a couple of months ahead of the Super NES version.

- Super NES. The Super NES version used music composed by Matt Furniss for the Sega versions, adapted by Steve Collett.
- Game Gear. The Game Gear game is a 4Mbit version of the Mega Drive game, with five levels and extra graphics by Anthony Rosbottom.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits about at the middle. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one, loose or complete, so a US copy is the easy one to buy. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
