Arg! Normally I can get Google to help me find anything, but I can't think of the requisite keywords this time.

Once upon a time there was a fan-made tribute game. It had static levels, basic movement with only a couple powers (fly and one attack, I think), and a different CoH enemy group per level. The graphics were VERY basic, maybe even 8-bit.

Anyone have a link or even remember what it was called?

I remember playing that but I can't recall the name...

Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Ah-ha! Turns out to have been made by Ascendant. Of course!

They made it for an April's Fool Day a few years ago. Here's the link: http://www.halfwaydecent.com/media/coh_2600.swf

Hope it helps bring a smile to someone else today, too.

Hehe, yep! There's more!

In the top right corner is your health and endurance bars. Still have to watch those.

In the bottom right corner are your click-activated powers. Left to right: Fly, melee attack, range attack, self-heal. Use the arrow buttons to control the direction of flight as well as run.

To go to other levels, fly/walk off the side of the screen.

Have fun!

I couldn't manage to do anything but run... did I miss anything?

Love the Atari Superman backgrounds!
Click on the powers in the bottom right. This is cute. I was kind of surprised how many backgrounds there were.
