Captain Novolin is a 1992 educational platform video game, developed by Sculptured Software and published by Raya Systems for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Starring the eponymous superhero with type 1 diabetes, the game sees the player controlling Captain Novolin on a quest to save the Mayor of Pineville from the supervillain Blubberman. It is part of Raya's educational video game series which also includes Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon, Packy and Marlon, and Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus.
Funding for the game came from Novo Nordisk (maker of the insulin brand Novolin) and the National Institutes of Health. To promote the game, Novo Nordisk distributed 10,000 free copies to hospitals. Upon its initial release, the game was positively received by diabetes specialists, as well as children with the disease; but retrospective reception from video game critics was poor, and it was named one of the worst video games of all time.
