Game Description:
Sunman was originally a Superman game until Sunsoft lost the licensing. To data, there are two prototypes. One contains one level with Superman as a playable character, and the other is a much more complete game with the new super hero, Sunman. Despite Sunsoft having their name all over this game, EIM actually developed this game judging by the credits.
The gameplay is very similar to Batman for the NES. You can walk, jump, and punch just like Batman. Sunman overall has slippery controls but at least Sunman can fly. The game is pretty hard.
The graphics on the other hand, are very nice. They are bright, colorful and detailed.
The music sounds quite bad. It's mostly the instruments that ruin potentially of great tracks.
Sunman is an alright game. Definitely not as good as Batman, but it's worth checking out.

Hack Description:
This is a graphics update Pacnsacdave's "Superman 2 - Specter Edition" hack/mod, containing a slightly modified version of Crying Onion's improved Superman title screen logo.
Apply this patch over the "Superman 2 - Specter Edition" patched Sunman game.
It keeps all the gameplay and graphics exactly the same as the original game, with the exception of updating all the graphics to be Superman as the player character instead of Sunman (and changing Megaro City in the text to Metropolis).
- The cutscene graphics featuring Superman have been retouched/updated to much closer resemble the titular character.
- The health indicator features red as the full life colour, and blue as the empty (much like in the original game, where red is full, beige is empty).
- Superman has a blue outline to bring the graphics closer to how Sunman was rendered in the original game. Additionally, a small graphics glitch involving his hair has been fixed.
- The chapter title is yellow and red (the colours of Superman's symbol).
