The Tick is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game developed by Software Creations and released by Fox Interactive in 1994.
The game was released on the Super NES and Sega Genesis systems and was based on the comic book and Fox Kids animated series of the same name.
The Tick's signature humor is also present in various parts of the game, such as his unorthodox gestures and "Spoon!"
[1] Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Genesis version a 4.75 out of 10, panning the game for its failure to capture the humor of the titular character, the Tick's limited number of moves, the monotonous repetition of the same enemies, the irritating sound effects, and the general boring tone.
They felt the game succeeded in replicating the humor of the comic book, but that the low frame rate and the "endless wave of the same enemies" made the entire experience unenjoyable.
