Most-played The Tick games
The Tick
Super Nintendo (SNES)Action
The Tick is a 1994 Super Nintendo action platformer developed by Software Creations and based on the satirical superhero franchise created by Ben Edlund. Players control The Tick as he battles through comic-book-inspired stages, using physical attacks, jumping, and his unusual superhero abilities to stop criminal threats. The game mixes side-scrolling platforming with beat 'em up encounters and boss battles. Its presentation draws on the character's exaggerated humor and colorful world, although the gameplay is more conventional than the source material's parody. Reception was mixed: reviewers generally recognized the faithful visual style and simple pick-up-and-play action, while criticizing repetitive combat, uneven difficulty, and limited depth.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
