I mean, Spider-man and Venom: Maximum Carnage (Genesis / SNES) is sorta playable, in the sense that most of it is an isometric beatemup, but I've found the audio way less helpful, and the AI way less predictable, when compared to other beatemups. And there are the platforming sections where you need to follow your Spidey Sense, which is only depicted visually. The climbing / webbing bits are also highly visual, due to the background you're climbing on having gaps and barriers that you must account for. Some games I played when I had some vision have remained semi-acceptably playable after losing it, but this one was hit pretty hard.
I can play the X-men games for Genesis, but mostly because I still remember the layouts from when I could see them. The Danger Room portions are on a time limit, so not being able to find your way around it isn't too terrible. Jean Grey will save you if you fall in pits, making it more forgiving than most platformers. But then there are all the shenanigans with switches, and bosses who move around pseudorandomly, and even with the vOICe, these days I can't get far past Zalidain.
I tried X-men Legends, and couldn't make sense of crap. That's more or less the game that killed my likelyhood to care about new games.
If you want to use cheats, X-men 2: Clonewars for the Genesis has 3 codes that might make it interesting: invincibility, level skip, and changing characters whenever you want. There's supposedly a "walk through walls" code, but I never got it to work (but also never tried that hard). Most levels in this game are complex platforming expeditions, but some bossfights are basically you in an arena with the boss, like a crappy fighting game. (Magneto and Apocolypse take forever to beat, and the audio for their fights is very unclear. Magneto in particular does vocalize when he's hit, but inconsistently, and he has a crapton of health, making that fight tedious and strenuous.) Mostly, I imagine the first boss of the final level might be one of the more playable fights, and people might have fun just trying out the different characters in some of the levels with more playable intros. (The first level opens with you being shot at by tanks, which are actually kinda easy to fight if you can figure out the distance. Psylock's mutant power does nothing to them, though. ... Crap, it seems like most of the enemies early on are mechanical, making her power almost useless. )
I think I have recordings of me trying to play the Genesis games, somewhere. Not sure how long it'd take to find / upload them.
