Well all I can say is that allthough the character generation system is a little cumbersome,and not as quick as say Tsr's Marvel heroes system It's still the original, and one of the best and Iv'e played them all.With a little effort,and creativity you can generate any character you've ever seen or heard about. And Crisis at crusader citadel is an excellent launch point module

Considered a classic, I understand, when it was printed (and it is still highly regarded to this day) I find CACC fun and enjoyable. Isn't that what everyone looks for in a game? Whether it is or not, this is a slice of an era in superheroes where they actually put some thought into the variety of characters they were presenting & working hard not to duplicate others with their abilities & eccentricities. Does it work its magic for today? Yeah, if you're into this sort of thing. It has an innocent fun aspect I found refreshing that might actually put others off a bit when they'd rather do something grittier and darker.
