"Superhero League of Hoboken" is a computer game from Legend Entertainment, designed by interactive fiction designer Steve Meretzky. The game combines the adventure and RPG styles of play and the superhero, comedy and post-apocalypse genres into an unlikely combination.

The game is set in the post-apocalyptic New Jersey-New York-Pennsylvania Tri-state area, where the player controls a team of off-beat and often useless superheroes (such as the Crimson Tape, whose power is to make organizational charts, the Iron Tummy, who can eat any amount of spicy food without suffering intestinal distress, Treader Man who is a fantastic swimmer, and Tropical Oil Man, who defeats villains by giving them high cholesterol) who battle a number of strange enemies, most notably the evil Dr. Entropy, a human jack-in-the-box with plans for world domination.

The missions in the game were typically offbeat of featured satire of present-day society.The game was available on both floppy disk and CD-ROM. It uses 256 colour 2D graphics.
